§ Mrs. RocheTo ask the Secretary of State for Transport which airline regulations relate to air passengers being handcuffed or bound by arm or leg restraints or a body belt during takeoff; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. Norris[holding answer 21 January 1994]: The only aviation legislation relating to the restraint of passengers is section 94 of the Civil Aviation Act 1982 which authorises the commander of an aircraft in flight to take reasonable measures, including bodily restraint, against someone who jeopardises the safety or good order of the aircraft.
