	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/05/2014 answer text <p>The search for the missing Malaysian Airliner MH370 is an extremely difficult and complex operation. The UK has made a number of contributions to the investigation and search for MH370. The UK Air Accidents Investigation Branch has appointed an accredited representative and an advisor to assist in the investigation, and representatives from Rolls Royce and Inmarsat also provided initial support. Experts from the UK Ministry of Defence, the Hydrographic Office, and the Met Office, have also co-operated with Malaysia and other international partners to analyse available data to help locate the aircraft.</p><p> </p><p>In addition, the UK deployed submarine HMS Tireless and survey vessel HMS Echo to support the search effort for a signal from MH370's black box. With the Australian command assessing that there is no prospect of further acoustic detections associated with the aircraft's black box, HMS Tireless and HMS Echo have been stood down. RAF personnel have also participated in Royal Australian Air Force and Royal New Zealand Air Force operations to search for wreckage of MH370.</p><p> </p><p>The Air Accidents Investigations Branch, working as part of an international team, continues to give its full support to the investigation and to share its expertise and analysis with the Malaysian authorities and international partners.</p><p> </p><p /> answering member constituency Scarborough and Whitby answering member printed Mr Robert Goodwill question first answered 06/05/2014 12:00:00 answering member 1562 label Biography information for Sir Robert Goodwill

If convicted, offenders could face up to a maximum penalty of five years in prison.</p><br /><p>The Civil Aviation Authority (CAA), as the independent safety regulator, has established a working group with relevant public and industry participants to consider what further measures may help counter the threat from the misuse of laser pens. The Government will continue to monitor closely the outcome of this work.</p> answering member constituency Scarborough and Whitby answering member printed Mr Robert Goodwill question first answered 21/01/2016 15:35:02 answering member 1562 label Biography information for Sir Robert Goodwill

	tabling member constituency	East Londonderry
	tabling member printed	Mr Gregory Campbell
	uin	222177
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/02/2015 answer text <p>International civil aviation is governed by the Convention on International Civil Aviation. Under the Convention, the International Civil Aviation Organisation is responsible for establishing the minimum safety standards for international aviation. Subject to compliance with those international standards, the State in which the aircraft is registered is responsible for determining what equipment it should carry. Within the EU, aircraft equipment requirements are introduced through EU legislation adopted on the advice of the European Aviation Safety Agency. There are currently no plans to introduce EU legislation to require the carriage of wind shear detection and alert systems on aircraft registered in EU Member States. We believe that this position is reasonable because the Civil Aviation Authority is not aware of any safety case which would justify the introduction of such a requirement.</p> answering member constituency Scarborough and Whitby answering member printed Mr Robert Goodwill question first answered 02/02/2015 16:19:51 answering member 1562 label Biography information for Sir Robert Goodwill

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/07/2019 answer text <p>A new EU Animal Health Regulation containing rules relevant to bovine TB control is due to come into force from 2021. Government officials have participated in expert group discussions on the so called delegated acts which will lay down the detailed rules. The UK devolved administrations have been fully involved in briefing for those meetings, including on the provisions for movement testing. Written representations have also been submitted to the European Commission. Ultimately, since these texts are delegated acts, final decisions on the detailed rules will be a matter for the European Commission, which has also conducted public consultation via its Have Your Say web service.</p> answering member constituency Scarborough and Whitby answering member printed Mr Robert Goodwill question first answered 11/07/2019 13:21:47 answering member 1562 label Biography information for Sir Robert Goodwill
