Parliamentary Search

Proceeding contribution from Lord Davies of Oldham (Labour) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 8 December 2005. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Civil Aviation Bill.

Civil Aviation Bill

My noble friend will recognise that for all kinds of good reasons, the idea that a state could abrogate to itself within the framework of international air travel the right to commission officers to go on board an aircraft and carry out a search for identifying the purposes of the aircraft is not acceptable within the convention. It would raise the most enormous implications for all kinds of air travel and it would lead to the United Kingdom taking an action that I do not believe anyone else in the world contemplates with regard to the international convention.
