Speaking in the House of Lords on 16 June 2026

Debate

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

Contribution

I note the comments of the noble Baroness, Lady Finlay of Llandaff, on toilet provision. Of course, that is primarily a function of aircraft design, which is, whether we like it or not, an international business. As I hope the noble Baroness, Lady Grender, is aware, the department is, however, already working on developing a non-statutory accessible travel charter to set clear shared expectations for how transport operators and local authorities improve accessibility for disabled people across all modes. In summary, although we very much share the ambition to improve passenger experience, this amendment would duplicate existing frameworks, constrain industry and risk unintended consequences. I hope she feels able not to press her amendment.
