Speaking in the House of Lords on 16 June 2026

Debate

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

Contribution

On Amendment 47, also from the noble Lord, Lord Holmes of Richmond, the CAA is already subject to the public sector equality duty and must consider impacts on protected groups. The CAA’s enforcement role focuses on systemic breaches and collective consumer harm, not individual outcomes, as it will not usually hold or generate the detailed passenger-level data envisaged. Requiring this data to be collected and reported would add significant burdens to the industry, particularly where it is not readily available. However, I would welcome a discussion with the noble Lord on the types of monitoring he is interested in and the types of data outcomes, and how this would map on to the CAA’s existing work. In the meantime, I ask him not to press his amendment.
