HL Deb 19 November 1998 vol 594 cc184-5WA
Lord Avebury

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether they will increase the maximum penalty for an offence under Article 55 of the Air Navigation (No. 2) Order 1995, which provides that a person shall not recklessly or negligently act in a manner likely to endanger an aircraft of any person therein, to five years imprisonment, and whether they will make the offences listed under Articles 56 to 58 of the order arrestable. [HL3881]

Lord Whitty

We have no plans to do so at present and I refer the noble Lord to my answer of 12 November (Official Report, col. 107).
