§ Mr. AmosTo ask the Secretary of State for Transport if he will raise at his next meeting with the chairman of the Civil Aviation Authority the provision by commercial airlines of seats for passengers obliged to occupy smoking seats against their wishes.
§ Mr. Peter BottomleyThere are no plans to do so. Generally this is a matter which is best left to the commercial judgment of individual airlines. The authority is able to take the views of users into account in all transport licensing cases where standards of services are at issue.
