Speaking in the House of Lords on 16 June 2026
Debate
Civil Aviation (Consumer Protection and Regulatory Reform) Bill [HL]Contribution
One thing I am very happy not to do any more is fly with a racing chair and an air compressor. I spent a lot of time explaining to people that it was a dry cell battery. A racing chair takes about 180 pounds per square inch in a back tyre. If you do not get that, then you do not compete as well. Trying to do that with a hand pump is impossible. That has not moved on in the 20 years since I retired.
