Tourists may have flights abroad rationed under new plans being considered by the Government. Gordon Brown's green adviser Lord Adair Turner said a partial ban could be the only way to cut pollution. A Westminster source added: "People may be limited to just one or two return plane journeys a year." Lord Turner, who chairs the PM's climate change committee, told MPs: "We will have to constrain demand in an absolute sense, with people not allowed to make as many journeys as they could." His comments came as figures showed the Government spent ฃ18.5million on flights last year.
It seems like Turner's suggestion has met with something less than universal assent. That's good because there's only one way to cope with laws that won't let us satisfy our wanderlust--and not letting us fly away kind of screws that up.
