Asked by: Barry Gardiner (Labour - Brent West)
Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what steps the Government is taking to maintain the UK's participation in the European Air Safety Agency's work on certifying aircraft, aircraft engines and other related products for safety to exports after the UK has left the EU.
Answered by John Hayes
The Government is considering carefully all the potential implications arising for our aviation industry from the UK’s exit from the EU, including the implications for the continued participation in the European Aviation Safety Agency system. Until we leave, EU law will continue to apply to the UK, alongside national rules.
