Haulage Permits and Trailer Registration Bill [HL]

"My Lords, this group of amendments deals with the situation for the trailer market. It is clear that the provisions in the back half of the Bill, which deals with trailers, are important and welcome. As the noble Earl, Lord Attlee, said, at one point I had to be quite …..."

Haulage Permits and Trailer Registration Bill [HL]

"I thank the Minister for her response. The noble Earl, Lord Attlee, said that this matter is no different from hiring tractors or any other form of vehicle, but this part of the Bill deals with trailers. At a casual read, it did not appear to cover the hiring, letting …..."

Written Question
Aviation
Thursday 21st December 2017

Asked by: Lord Whitty (Labour - Life peer)

Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask Her Majesty's Government what plans they have for future relationships post-Brexit between (1) UK public agencies, and (2) UK industry, and the European Aviation Safety Agency and Eurocontrol.

Answered by Baroness Sugg

The Government is considering carefully all the potential implications arising from the UK’s exit from the EU, including the implications for continued or discontinued participation in the European Aviation Safety Agency.

The nature of the UK’s participation with the Agency as a third country will be a matter for the negotiations.

Eurocontrol is not an EU institution, so the UK will continue to be a member after our exit from the EU.
