§ Mrs. DunwoodyTo ask the Secretary of State for Transport what inspections the Civil Aviation Authority has undertaken to assess the adherence of Ghana to international civil aviation regulations. [35978]
§ Mr. NorrisThe Civil Aviation Authority has made two inspections this year of flights originating from Ghana to assess adherence to International Civil Aviation Organisation safety standards. These checks took place in February and May respectively. Neither check revealed any safety levels that fell below ICAO requirements.
§ Mrs. DunwoodyTo ask the Secretary of State for Transport, pursuant to his answer of 1 July, Official Report column 349, what conclusions (a) his Department and (b) the Civil Aviation Authority reached following the inspections in Bulgaria. [36252]
§ Mr. Norris[holding answer 9 July 1996]: The Civil Aviation Authority was generally content with the level of safety achieved in Bulgaria. It has made a number of recommendations on procedural and organizational matters which have been passed to the Bulgarian authority. As the audit did not reveal any significant variations from the International Civil Aviation Organisation's minimum safety standards, we will continue to permit Bulgarian airlines to operate services into the UK.
