The CAA has recently published its consultation on the proposed charge to cover the cost of running this service. The proposed charge balances keeping the charge for registration as low as possible and ensuring that the scheme funds itself. Consultation responses will inform the CAA’s final decision on the charge, which will be taken in July 2019. The proposals will be in line with forthcoming requirements from the European Aviation Safety Agency.</p> answering member constituency Northampton North answering member printed Michael Ellis question first answered 04/06/2019 14:10:06 answering member 4116 label Biography information for Sir Michael Ellis
