Debate
Civil Aviation (Consumer Protection and Regulatory Reform) Bill [HL]Contribution
I understand the complications, but the fundamental principle is fairly straightforward. The Minister may be in a position to tell me that the Secretary of State has the powers that he needs. If that is not the case, I will certainly wish to come back to this on Report because it is a fundamental issue and I think it is easily solved. I do not anticipate any need for any interventions at the moment or in the foreseeable future. The rotations are pretty good and they are obviously there because the airlines feel that they are making a profit. We are not talking about subsidies here. It is access, not subsidy, that is the issue.
