HC Deb 14 July 1986 vol 101 cc391-3W
16. Mr. Maclennan

asked the Secretary of State for Transport what recent discussions he has had with other member states of the European Community regarding the security provisions at international airports.

Mr. Michael Spicer

We hold frequent discussions on these matters with foreign Governments. They take place on a bilateral and Community basis and within the European Civil Aviation conference and also the International Civil Aviation Organisation.

29. Mr. Cartwright

asked the Secretary of State for Transport what further steps he proposes to take to improve security measures at international airports in the United Kingdom.

Mr. Michael Spicer

Security at United Kingdom airports has been stepped up in recent weeks, but it would not be in the public interest to disclose details. I keep our aviation security programme constantly under review and I will take any further measures that are necessary.
