On Amendments 48 and 124 on disembarkation times, I certainly agree that long delays are unacceptable. However, fixed time limits would not reflect variation in aircraft, airport layouts and safety considerations. The UK operates within established frameworks, including the European Civil Aviation Conference guidance, with the CAA monitoring performance and Clause 2 of this Bill strengthening enforcement. As mentioned, the Bill allows the better enforcement of existing standards, and therefore I ask the noble Lord not to press those amendments.
