Speaking in the House of Lords on 16 June 2026

Debate

Civil Aviation (Consumer Protection and Regulatory Reform) Bill [HL]

Contribution

I turn briefly to Amendment 38, which is about ATOL. ATOL is the insurance system for when an airline or a holiday operator goes bust. It is accepted on all hands, including by the department, that the ATOL structure needs a review and improvement. Indeed, I think that the department has been saying for some time that it will at some point or in due course—whatever the favoured phrase of the moment is for indicating non-achievement—come forward with that review. This is purely a probing amendment, which would oblige it to complete the review by a certain date, but it gives the Minister the opportunity to tell us all where we are getting to with this and when it is likely that we will have the results of the review.
