Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether he has held discussions with representatives of (a) trade unions and staff, (b) the aviation industry and (c) the Health and Safety Executive on standards of air filtration on piloted aircraft since 1 January 2020.

During the pandemic, air filtration onboard aircraft was of particular interest in relation to transmission of the COVID-19 virus. My officials have engaged with a wide range of stakeholders throughout the pandemic on a variety of issues, including aircraft filtrations systems and standards.
