Debate
Civil Aviation (Consumer Protection and Regulatory Reform) Bill [HL]Contribution
I turn to the amendment from the noble Baronesses, Lady Grender and Lady Brinton, on enhanced compensation. We share the aim of supporting disabled passengers when things go wrong. However, some protections already exist, including prohibitions on the refusal of carriage and Regulation 261 requirements for care and assistance during disruption. Clause 1 of the Bill allows those protections to be strengthened, where necessary. The amendment risks duplication and could cut across international arrangements, so I ask the noble Baronesses not to press it.
