Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask Her Majesty’s Government, in the light of the shooting down of flight MH17, what they are doing to ensure the safety of long haul flights between the United Kingdom and the Far East.
The safety of our aviation industry is of paramount importance to the Government.
We are actively participating in the Dutch led investigation into MH17. We are also working very closely with our airline community to ensure that decisions on routings and operations are informed by relevant information.
