§ Sir Thomas ArnoldTo ask the Secretary of State for Tansport if the Civil Aviation Authority has granted full category 4 standard, as laid down by documents CAP 168, at Woodford aerodrome in Greater Manchester; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. NorrisThe Civil Aviation Authority is responsible for the safety regulation of civil aviation in the United Kingdom. Its fire safety branch has informed me that its records show that in accordance with document CAP 168, the scale of rescue and fire-fighting services, RFFS, provided at Woodford aerodrome has been to category 4 standard for the past five years. There is no evidence of a proposal to change the scale of protection currently being provided.
