On the noble Lord’s further amendments on minimum accessibility standards, older passengers and unaccompanied minors, established requirements already exist under Regulation 1107, CAA guidance and performance monitoring. Support is based on passenger need, including assistance and prioritisation through disruption. Airlines also provide dedicated services for unaccompanied minors. A separate age-based or highly prescriptive framework risks duplication and complexity. Again, Clause 1 gives flexibility to strengthen standards if evidence shows that that is necessary.
