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
