Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what recent discussions she has had with her European counterparts on mutual recognition of UK pilot licences for flying EU registered aircraft.

Answer

The Government has been clear that it will work to reset the relationship with Europe, strengthen ties, and tackle barriers to trade.

We remain committed to establishing closer cooperation with the EU where possible.
