Those are the sorts of issues that this group is concerned with. They are very important. They go to the heart of the Bill. While we have had discussions about things that we all want to see happen in civil aviation, the Bill is not about those things. The Bill is about the structures for how those things are achieved and enforced. This whole question is at the heart of the Bill. I am speaking on Clauses 1 and 2, which are about consumer protection. Later in Committee I will come to the other, astonishingly broad additional powers being given to the Civil Aviation Authority in respect of what the Bill calls rule-making. Those are not, however, what I am talking about at the moment. I am focused on the consumer protection issues and Clauses 1 and 2 with the associated schedule.
