I turn to Amendment 59A from the noble Lord, Lord Moylan. As he is aware, UK aviation operates in the private sector, so industrial relations are a matter for employers, their employees and trade unions. The Government have no role in mitigating industrial action. The sector is responsible for putting proactive contingency plans in place to minimise disruption for customers. I fully recognise the importance of understanding the impacts of any disruption on passengers, which is why this Government already keep the resilience of the aviation sector and the experience of passengers under close consideration through continuing engagement with the sector and the Civil Aviation Authority.
