Speaking in the House of Lords on 16 June 2026

Debate

Civil Aviation (Consumer Protection and Regulatory Reform) Bill [HL]

Contribution

I am grateful to the noble Lord, Lord Holmes, for Amendment 119 on horizon scanning and emerging technologies. The CAA already has dedicated teams that undertake horizon scanning and engage closely with industry to monitor new technologies and to assess regulatory implications. It is a global leader in advanced air mobility, is actively involved in setting standards, and has delivered significant regulatory and policy changes for uncrewed aircraft systems. That work continues through the Government-sponsored future of flight and future air traffic management programmes.
