Civil Aviation Bill

I hear what the hon. Gentleman says, but is it not true that even in the UK, seven airlines have gone bust in the past four years? Some of them served Edinburgh, so my constituents were affected. Does the hon. Gentleman not accept that there is a need for greater consumer protection, and that he should perhaps be more sympathetic to such people’s problems? They might well be able to use their credit card to get home, but that is not much use if they cannot get recompense for cost of their flight when an airline goes bust, or recompense for the cost of accommodation booked through a website.
