I turn to the amendment from the noble Lord, Lord Moylan, relating to the Air Travel Organiser’s Licence—ATOL—scheme. Although the Bill does not include any ATOL-related measures, I thank the noble Lord for raising this. The Government remain committed to ensuring that consumers can book and take their holidays with confidence through the ATOL scheme. The Government have been working closely with the Civil Aviation Authority to develop proposals for ATOL reform, ahead of a joint consultation planned for—I hope the noble Lord will note this—later this year. This will allow the Government to gather the necessary evidence to ensure effective policy. I hope that reassures the noble Lord that we are working swiftly on this issue and plan to consult, and therefore that he will not press his amendment.
