uin	40203
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/06/2016 answer text <p>The withdrawal from service of most of the Super Puma helicopter models followed the tragic crash in Norway with the loss of 13 lives on 29 April this year. We are confident that the Norwegian Accident Investigation Board will determine the cause of the crash and that the UK regulator, the Civil Aviation Authority, will then decide on the appropriate longer term action to take. It was entirely appropriate for the relevant Super Puma models to be immediately withdrawn from service by the CAA in the light of the circumstances of the accident, and this should have given assurance to the UK offshore oil and gas industry workforce about the regulatory controls in place. Oil and Gas UK, the main trade association for the industry, has formed a Helicopter Resilience Group with members from industry to discuss how logistics can be managed more effectively.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency South Northamptonshire answering member printed Andrea Leadsom question first answered 27/06/2016 09:05:50 answering member 4117 label Biography information for Andrea Leadsom
