Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask His Majesty's Government, in light of the provisions in the Civil Aviation (Consumer Protection and Regulatory Reform) Bill allowing persons who benefit from air traffic or air navigation services to be charged for those services, whether they intend to introduce statutory safeguards to prevent general aviation users from being required to fund services introduced primarily for the benefit of other airspace users.

There are already statutory safeguards in place to ensure charges are set fairly, and the Bill maintains them. In practice general aviation users are largely exempt from paying charges and there are no current plans to change that.
