HC Deb 20 January 1997 vol 288 cc487-8W
Mrs. Dunwoody

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport if he will list those airlines found to be operating overloaded aircraft during the last two years. [11512]

Mr. Bowis

The Civil Aviation Authority audits UK airlines to ensure, among other things, that aircraft are operated within the weight limitations specified in their performance manuals. Incidence of operations outside these limitations is very low. Details of such operations are not held centrally and the information requested can be provided only at disproportionate cost.
