answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/10/2016 answer text <p>The Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) is the Government’s expert Arm’s Length Body for the safety, security, consumer rights and economic regulation of civil aviation in the United Kingdom. The CAA participates in European Union (EU) regulatory systems in these areas. The Government is considering carefully all the potential implications arising from the UK’s exit from the EU including the implications for the continued participation in European aviation safety and security regulatory processes. Until we leave, EU law still applies, and EU regulation in these areas will continue to apply in the UK, alongside national rules.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 14/10/2016 10:06:52 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon

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.

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

tabling member printed	Lord Hunt of Chesterton
uin	HL2160
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/10/2016 answer text <p>Local authorities already have powers to introduce road user charging schemes under the Transport Act 2000, and in general it is for them to determine whether or not they use these powers.</p><p> </p><p>The national air quality plan for nitrogen dioxide, published in December last year, set out a range of measures that we are implementing to improve air quality. The plan combines targeted local and national measures, forming part of a wider approach that exploits new and clean technologies, such as electric and ultra-low emission vehicles. As part of the national plan we are requiring five cities (Birmingham, Derby, Leeds, Nottingham and Southampton) to implement Clean Air Zones. Other local authorities can introduce Clean Air Zones should they wish to do so using their powers under the Transport Act 2000.</p><p> </p><p>We will consult on a framework for Clean Air Zones later this year which will set out the important principles that need to be consistent from city to city. Setting out the principles in this way will support both those authorities required by Government to implement a Clean Air Zone and those who, after analysing their own situation, consider a Clean Air Zone to be an appropriate measure to bring in.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 24/10/2016 12:14:18 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon
