Debate
Civil Aviation (Consumer Protection and Regulatory Reform) Bill [HL]Contribution
What about the voice of disabled people in these decisions on the CAA board? The work that the Disabled Persons Transport Advisory Committee—DPTAC—does for the Department for Transport is important, but the operative word in its name is “advisory”. There are experts on DPTAC, but it is advisory. Where is the statutory voice for disabled people in the department, in the CAA and at other critical points in this aviation journey and aviation experience?
