Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask His Majesty's Government what discussions they have had with (1) the Civil Aviation Authority, and (2) representatives of the wider aviation and airline sector, about those laws relating to aircraft safety which are subject to the provisions of the Retained EU Law (Revocation and Reform) Bill.

The Government is continuing to plan and discuss with the Civil Aviation Authority how to address the requirements of the Retained EU Law (Revocation and Reform) Bill and ensure a coordinated and seamless transfer to a new legislative framework.

The powers provided by section 60 of the Civil Aviation Act 1982, the revoke and restatement powers contained in the Bill, combined with the power to extend the sunsetting date for Retained EU Legislation to 2026, will allow us to maintain a comprehensive set of aviation regulations.

The Government is committed to engaging with stakeholders to ensure policy decisions are well-informed and result in benefits for both citizens and business.
