Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what discussions he has had with the European Aerospace Safety Agency about the certification of aerospace technology when the UK leaves the EU.

The UK’s negotiations with the EU are currently focused on the withdrawal agreement. As part of the future relationship negotiations the Government will address how best to continue cooperation in the field of aviation safety and standards.

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.
