§ Mrs. Dunwoodyasked the Secretary of State for Transport (1) if he will list the number of safety reports and violations filed against British Airways during the current year;
(2) what provisions are being planned to enhance the safety of British Airways.
§ Mr. Michael SpicerThe Civil Aviation Authority is statutorily responsible for all aviation safety matters. British Airways, in common with other United Kingdom airlines, has to meet CAA requirements for public transport operations. The authority tells me that it is satisfied that British Airways does indeed meet these requirements, and that no safety reports or violations have been filed with it against British Airways this year.
