Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what recent discussions she has had with the Civil Aviation Authority on taking steps to help ensure that renewal decisions for Air Travel Organiser's Licences (ATOL) are made with consideration to the financial impact of the covid-19 pandemic on international travel operators.

The Civil Aviation Authority is the independent regulator responsible for the administration of the ATOL scheme. It would therefore not be appropriate for the Government to intervene in CAA licence renewal decisions.
