§ Mr. McCrindleTo ask the Secretary of State for Transport if, in the light of recent security breaches, he has any plans to improve security arrangements at London City airport; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. Peter BottomleyThe aircraft concerned were not in service when the incidents occurred. The aviation security programme requires aircraft to be checked before they are brought into service. These requirements are designed to protect passengers' safety and I believe that they were met.
