Debate
Civil Aviation (Consumer Protection and Regulatory Reform) Bill [HL]Contribution
I agree that gate tags are not particularly useful. They do not always make much difference whether they are on or not. As the noble Baroness, Lady Grender, said, it is the case that we have to ask: how many times do we have to keep hearing about these experiences? I completely understand why the captain should be in charge of safety, but they actually need to know what they are talking about. If they had appropriate training, I would not have any argument. I do not want any plane taking off with an unsafe battery on it.
