CILT Response to the DfT Consultation published 2 December 2020.
Introduction
The Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport (CILT) is a professional institution embracing all transport modes whose members are engaged in the provision of transport services for both passengers and freight, the management of logistics and the supply chain, transport planning, government and administration. Our principal concern is that transport policies and procedures should be effective and efficient, based on objective analysis of the issues and practical experience, and that good practice should be widely disseminated and adopted. The Institute has a number of specialist forums, a nationwide structure of locally based groups and a Public Policies Committee which considers the broad canvass of transport policy. This submission draws on contributions principally by the Aviation Policy Group.
This the response of the CILT to the DfT’s consultation on Night flight restrictions published on 2 December 2020. Our response is made in this paper rather than through the online form because it is based on principles rather than on the effects of specific proposals.
