answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/10/2016 answer text <p>The Government strongly supports the industry and its efforts to find deliverable solutions to this issue. It is important to ensure that all air passengers have a safe and pleasant experience when flying.</p><p> </p><p>The industry bodies have joined together to create the UK Aviation Industry Code of Practice on Disruptive Passengers, with the purpose of creating a common, consistent approach that co-ordinates and enhances existing efforts to prevent and minimise disruptive passenger behaviour.</p><p> </p><p>At present there are no plans for the Government to review legislation in this area as I believe it is essential that the Code of Practice is given time to bed in and mature. We will continue to engage and meet with a broad range of operators in the aviation sector and managing disruptive behaviour is one of the issues we wish to discuss.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 14/10/2016 10:05:58 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon

question text	To ask Her Majesty’s Government what consideration they have given to prohibiting passengers from consuming their own alcohol on board aircraft, as is the case in the United States under Federal Aviation Administration regulations; and whether they have considered amending the Air Navigation Order 2016 to include such a prohibition.
tabling member printed	Baroness Hayter of Kentish Town
uin	HL2111
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/10/2016 answer text <p>The Air Navigation Order has provisions that make it an offence to board an aircraft, or be in an aircraft, while drunk, as well as behaving in a disruptive way. Additionally, the aviation industry has clear rules and procedures in place which make it clear that only alcohol bought onboard will be allowed to be consumed. There are no current plans for the Government to review legislation further in this area. Aviation safety is, however, always kept under review.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 14/10/2016 10:04:58 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon

question text	To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether they have considered making illegal all odometer adjustment, and enforcing an outright ban on (1) the sale and purchase of odometer adjustment equipment, and (2) companies offering those services.

uin	HL3487
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/11/2015 answer text <p>I deplore the practice of mileage fraud.</p><br /><p>Odometers do go wrong and may be replaced, so there are occasions when adjustment of the odometer is legitimate. To help, consumers mileage is recorded at every MOT test and is available on the certificate and online. Although odometer adjustment is not currently unlawful, the misrepresentation of true mileage to a potential purchaser is illegal under consumer protection legislation.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 23/11/2015 12:15:37 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon

question text	To ask Her Majesty’s Government what consideration they have given to requiring mileage to be declared at the same time as road tax is being renewed.

uin	HL2290
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/09/2015 answer text <p>Mileage information can be declared voluntarily to the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA). Consideration has been given to making it mandatory for mileage information to be supplied when a vehicle is licensed or when there is a change of keeper. As the DVLA cannot verify the accuracy of any mileage data provided at these stages, there are no plans to make the requirement mandatory as part of the process of collecting vehicle excise duty.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>Mileage information is collected however when a vehicle undergoes a Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) roadworthiness test (MOT), when testers have the opportunity to record the mileage shown on the odometer.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 23/09/2015 10:35:13 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon
