Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what assessment the Government has made of the benefit to the UK of membership of the European Aviation Safety Agency.
The system centred on the European Aviation Safety Agency has delivered significant efficiencies in the safety regulation of civil aviation in the EU while ensuring a high level of safety. 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.
