Civil Aviation Bill

I thank the hon. Gentleman for that intervention. In responding to the debate, will the Minister clarify how in practice such an important determination will be made in light of the delegated powers that are going to be passed to the CAA under the revised regulatory regime and the fact that when introducing the debate the Secretary of State said that CAA decisions should be ““guided by the needs of customers”” and that the safety of customers was of ““key importance””, and, finally, bearing in mind that the Secretary of State remains ultimately responsible for aviation safety and security? I welcome the Bill.
