Civil Aviation Bill

Proceeding contribution from Countess of Mar (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 7 November 2012. It occurred during Debate on bills on Civil Aviation Bill.

My Lords, I note that in the preamble to subsection (1), it says that the CAA,

“must publish, or arrange for the publication”.

There is no reason why it should not arrange for the publication of these figures by the airlines themselves, as part of the contract that it has with the airlines. I do not fly myself as I have been banned from flying—not because I drink too much or anything like that but for medical reasons—but I am very conscious of the amount of publicity that is given and the number of complaints there are about the lack of clarity and transparency over airline fares. This is a very valuable amendment.
