	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/03/2019 answer text <p>Leaving the EU with a deal remains the Government’s top priority. The Government has accelerated no deal preparations to ensure the country is prepared for every eventuality. It is the responsible thing to do. The EU has adopted a Regulation, giving UK airlines the rights to fly to and from the EU for 12 months in a no deal scenario, and the UK Government will provide at least equivalent rights to EU airlines. UK airports will continue under the same aviation security regime as they do now. The Government works closely with the aviation sector, including UK airports, and will continue to do so.</p> answering member constituency Epsom and Ewell answering member printed Chris Grayling question first answered 25/03/2019 15:17:30 answering member 1413 label Biography information for Chris Grayling
