HC Deb 16 March 1989 vol 149 c287W
Mr. Bermingham

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what representations he has received in relation to safe flight deck crewing; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Peter Bottomley

Safe flight deck crewing is a matter for the Civil Aviation Authority, which has the statutory responsibility for the safety regulation of civil aviation. I understand that the Civil Aviation Authority's requirements comply with internationally recognised criteria.
