Asked by:
Sir Julian Smith (Conservative)

Airports and airlines must operate in full compliance with all UK laws and regulatory standards to ensure safety, security, and accountability.

If those laws are broken it is our expectation that any and all information useful to inquiries by the relevant authorities is swiftly obtained and passed on.

The Home Office is the lead department for these matters. It would not be appropriate to comment on any ongoing investigations.
