Debate
Civil Aviation (Consumer Protection and Regulatory Reform) Bill [HL]Contribution
The real scandal of the current IATA regulations is that—as the noble Baroness, Lady Grey-Thompson, said—the level of compensation for mobility aids damaged in transit, either in the plane or in the airport, bears absolutely no relation to the costs of repair or replacement. My current chair is not a common model, but it is not as expensive as that of the noble Baroness. Her racing chairs cost around £20,000 or something like that, I think. Some of them are really expensive.
