Legislate to mandate an automatic refund system for flight delays over 1 hour, irrespective of cause. The original retailer, broker or airline must pay passengers, and NATS must be legally mandated to reimburse them when ATC is at fault.

1. Mandate monthly welfare updates and photos for owners of all seized dogs - 5,107 signatures

Passengers face a broken system where loopholes deny payouts. Parliament must enact automatic refunds: 25% for 1-hour, 50% for 2-hour, and 100% for 3-hour delays. Calculations must include the full basket price (fare, taxes, luggage, seats, extras). Whoever took the payment - retailer, broker, travel agent, airline - must refund the passenger within 14 calendar days. Crucially, NATS's financial immunity must end so ATC legally reimburses the supply chain when their failures cause the disruption.
