§ Laura MoffattTo ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what assessment he has made of the report on airport security by Sir John Wheeler; and if he will make a statement. [99607]
§ Mr. JamiesonI have been asked to reply.
The position remains as described in my answer of 3 December 2002, Official Report, column 659W, to my hon. Friend. Having considered carefully the findings and recommendations in Sir John Wheeler's report, the Government were happy to accept in principle all of them. The Department for Transport and the Home 825W Office are working closely together on implementation, involving as appropriate the police, other control agencies and the aviation industry.
