§ Mr. RuffleyTo ask the Secretary of State for Transport if he will make a statement on measures to improve the provision of emergency medical equipment on all UK aircraft. [187177]
§ Mr. McNultyUK Airlines carry first aid and emergency medical kits in accordance with common requirements established by the Joint Aviation Authorities (JAA). The content of these kits is being reviewed following a proposal from the European Civil Aviation Conference for considering several improvements to the kits but granting some flexibility to meet an operator's route specifications. The UK supports these changes and will implement them once they have been adopted by the JAA following public consultation.
