PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Civil Aviation Authority (1 September 2023)

Question Asked

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether he plans to consult (a) consumer and (b) passenger groups on proposed reforms to the powers of the Civil Aviation Authority.

Asked by:
Mike Kane (Labour)

Answer

The Department consulted in January 2022 on a range of aviation consumer issues, including whether to provide the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) with additional powers to enforce aviation consumer rights.

The Department published its response to that consultation on 27 June 2023, which included a commitment to legislate when parliamentary time allows to provide the CAA with additional administrative powers. Further informal consultation with stakeholders may be required on the design of these powers.
