Lord Hendy of Richmond Hill (Lab)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 14 July 2025

Debate

Transport Act 2000 (Air Traffic Services) (Prescribed Terms) Regulations 2025

Contribution

My Lords, I thank all noble Lords for their consideration of these draft regulations. I will now attempt to respond to the specific points raised. I was pleased to hear the noble Lord, Lord Kirkhope of Harrogate, welcome these proposals. He referred to general aviation, as did the noble Lord, Lord Moylan. We recognise the key role of general aviation and the value that it brings, both economically and as a pipeline for people to learn to fly. The UKADS will take account of the needs and views of general aviation as it develops its designs. Of course, London has some of the most complex airspace in the world, and the UKADS will provide the guiding mind to help deliver modernisation in this very complex area.
