§ Mr. DayTo ask the Secretary of State for Transport what information he has on when the Civil Aviation Authority expects to produce the fourth version of CAP 371 for fixed-wing long-haul and ultra long-haul two-crew operations.
§ Mr. McLoughlinI am advised by the Civil Aviation Authority, which has the statutory responsibility for the safety regulation of United Kingdom civil aviation, that it is currently examining the results of tests and research conducted by several nations into the effects of long-haul two-crew operations. When these tests have been fully analysed, the Civil Aviation Authority will make any necessary changes to the provisions contained in CAP 371 covering such flights.
