Mr. McDonnell: To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions (1) what assessment he has made of the
governmental inquiry into Mr. Douglas Andrew's role in the privatisation of New Zealand's steel industry in respect of the
involvement of Mr. Andrew of the Civil Aviation Authority in advising the Government on the future of the National Air Traffic
Services; [149597]
(2) pursuant to his answer of 5 February 2001, Official Report, columns 382-83W, if he will publish the minutes and notes of any
working groups run by his Department on the economic regulatory and licensing regime for the NATS public/private partnership in
which Mr. Douglas Andrew has participated; [149599]
(3) pursuant to his answer of 5 February 2001, Official Report, columns 382-83W, for what reasons Mr. Douglas Andrew has held
meetings with the three potential partners during the bidding process; [149598]
(4) pursuant to his answer of 5 February 2001, Official Report, colum ns 382-83W, what steps were taken by the Government to
satisfy itself that Mr. Douglas Andrew was the most appropriate person for re-appointment in 2000 as the head of the Civil Aviation
Authority's Economic Regulation Group. [149596]
Mr. Robert Ainsworth: Before re-appointing Mr. Andrew in April 2000, the Government satisfied themselves as to his track record as a
member of the Civil Aviation Authority. They saw, and continue to see, no reason to make further inquiries about Mr. Andrew's career
prior to joining the CAA.
Mr. Andrew's meetings with the bidders for the role of strategic partner in the public-private partnership for National Air Traffic
Services were to enable the bidders to discuss questions about the future economic regulatory process.
The working groups run by my Department, to which I referred in my earlier answer, were integral to the provision of advice to
Ministers on the public-private partnership, and it would not be appropriate to publish the minutes.

Mr. McDonnell: To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions (1) if Mr. Douglas Andrew will
participate in advising his Department on the choice of the strategic partner for the National Air Traffic Control Service;
[148557]
(2) if he will place the advice provided to his Department on the future of National Air Traffic Services by Mr. Douglas Andrew of
the Civil Aviation Authority in the Library; [148549]
(3 what meetings (a) he and (b) his officials have held with Mr. Douglas Andrew of the Civil Aviation Authority to discuss the
future of the National Air Traffic Services; [148552]
(4) what assessment he has made of recent statements made in the media by Mr. Douglas Andrew, adviser to his Department, on the sale
of air traffic control; [148553]
(5) what references were taken up by his Department prior to the engagement of Mr. Douglas Andrew of the Civil Aviation Authority as
an adviser on the future of National Air Traffic Control Services; [148551]
(6) what role Mr. Douglas Andrew of the Civil Aviation Authority has played in advising the Government on the future of the National
Air Traffic Services. [148550]
Mr. Robert Ainsworth: Mr. Douglas Andrew is the head of the Economic Regulation Group of the Civil Aviation Authority and he was
appointed in that capacity initially by the previous Administration in 1997. He was re-appointed as head of the Economic Regulation
Group in 2000.
Mr. Andrew's role in advising the Government on the future of National Air Traffic Services has been limited to matters regarding
the economic regulatory and licensing regime for the NATS public/private partnership. In this context, Mr. Andrew has participated
in working groups run by my Department at official level. The Economic Regulation Group was also asked to advise the Government on a
detailed economic regulatory regime and price cap for NATS PPP. There have been no meetings between Mr. Andrew and Ministers on
these matters.
I shall be happy to place copies of the CAA's advice on the charge control for the PPP in the Library of this House. The CAA has
already placed the advice on its own website, but I am aware of no other statements made by Mr. Andrew in the media relating to the
PPP.
Mr. Andrew will not participate in advising on the choice of the strategic partner for the PPP. He, and other senior CAA personnel,
have had meetings with all three potential strategic partners during the bidding process.
I understand that the previous Administration took proper steps to satisfy itself that Mr. Andrew was the most appropriate person
for the post of Director of Economic Regulation. Details of his references are personal and confidential.
