answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/10/2017 answer text <p>The Department for Transport conducts expert assessments on aviation security at overseas airports. We do not assess the impact on the tourism and airline industries of any restrictions on flights. However, I fully recognise that Egypt is an important partner for the UK, with British businesses both serving the resort, as well as delivering a sizeable contribution to Egypt’s economy more widely. UK aviation security experts have worked closely with their Egyptian counterparts, sharing their expertise in establishing effective security arrangements. However, it is long standing government policy not to comment in detail on security matters. We continue to work in a spirit of partnership, and are grateful for Egypt's close engagement and cooperation. We look forward to achieving the return of flights once we can be assured that the necessary security environment can be sustained.</p> answering member constituency South Holland and The Deepings answering member printed Mr John Hayes grouped question UIN 108724 108725 108727 question first answered 24/10/2017 14:03:53 answering member 350 label Biography information for Sir John Hayes
