Speaking in the House of Lords on 16 June 2026

Debate

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

Contribution

The implementation group for the Task and Finish Group, which has a mobility aid sub-group chaired by Tony Jennings and David Leighton, is currently looking at that. The Task and Finish implementation group is not due to report until October this year, so an update on that or a current view on its findings would be helpful. It is also looking at batteries, which relates to other amendments on the training of staff. Passengers do not get clear information on what mobility aids they can fly with, and if we can control only what people who leave the UK and come back into the UK can do, that would be a big step forward.
