To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what discussions he has had with representatives of EasyJet on flight cancellations caused by IT failures at that company.
I am aware that as a result of an IT failure on 27 May easyJet enacted rehearsed contingency plans to managed unexpected events. This resulted in the cancellation and delay of some flights while the issue was resolved. Any IT failure is unfortunate but I have been reassured by easyJet that this was an isolated incident and was quickly resolved.
easyJet have were involved in the meeting I and the Secretary of State chaired on 1 June, they are also involved in the Strategic Risk Group which I chaired on Tuesday 14 June and will continue to chair weekly.

UK Export Finance’s (UKEF) Export Development Guarantee Scheme allows for the provision of general working capital support to UK exporters. The support does not relate to the construction of any individual project and therefore falls outside of the scope of the Equator Principles.

The Department has been clear that airlines and travel agents should not deny consumers their legal right to a refund, if it is requested and this should be done in a timely manner.
The Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) undertook a review of the refund policies of all UK airlines, as well as a number of international airlines that operate flights to and from the UK. The CAA has utilised this review to influence airlines to change their processes and practices in order to improve performance in providing refunds. The CAA’s actions have led to an improved quality of service and performance from most airlines. The CAA continues to work with carriers on the issue of refunds, while recognising the challenges businesses are facing.

We recognise that the Easyjet announcement on redundancies will be distressing news for Easyjet employees and their families and Government stands ready to support them.

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what meetings his Department has had with Easyjet on its proposed 4,500 job losses; and what plans the Government has to help safeguard the future of those jobs.
It would not be appropriate to comment on individual discussions. However, we recognise that this will be very distressing news for EasyJet employees and their families, and we stand ready to support them.
Our transport systems are critical to support the restart of the wider economy and we continue to work closely with the aviation sector on these restart plans and the longer-term recovery of the sector. Firms can draw upon the unprecedented package of measures, including schemes to raise capital, flexibilities with tax bills, and financial support for employees. If airlines find themselves in trouble because of coronavirus, and have exhausted the measures already available to them, the Government is prepared to enter discussions with individual companies seeking bespoke support as a last resort, having exhausted all other options. Any intervention would need to represent value for money for taxpayers.

The Information Commissioner performs her regulatory functions independently of Government as such I am unable to comment on ongoing investigations or on individual cases.
The National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) has been working with EasyJet from the outset to understand how the incident has affected people in the UK. On Tuesday 19 May, NCSC published advice on its website that includes practical advice concerned citizens can follow.
EasyJet have said they have already contacted all 2,208 customers who had their credit cards details accessed. They have also contacted the other 9 million customers who had their email address and travel details accessed.
To ask Her Majesty's Government what steps the Civil Aviation Authority are taking to offer to other airlines the easyJet landing slots at Gatwick for the Aberdeen routes being terminated in February.
To ask Her Majesty's Government what steps the Civil Aviation Authority are taking to offer to other airlines the easyJet landing slots at Gatwick for the Aberdeen routes being terminated in February.
Under European Union regulations slot allocation at co-ordinated airports in the UK is managed by a designated slot co-ordinator entirely independently of the UK Government, the Civil Aviation Authority and other interested parties. The Government therefore plays no part in, and is legally prevented from intervening in, the slot allocation process.
However, the Government recognises that air connectivity between Scotland and London and the rest of the UK is of the utmost importance. The Government have set a clear expectation that about 15% of slots made available from expansion at Heathrow Airport will be used for domestic flights. As part of this we expect around 100 additional flights per week between Scotland and Heathrow once the new capacity is delivered. The Government also set out a requirement in the Airports National Policy Statement (NPS) for Heathrow to work with airlines to strengthen existing routes and deliver new connections.
To ask Her Majesty’s Government how many times in each of the past five years (1) British Airways, (2) easyJet, (3) Virgin Atlantic, (4) United Airlines, and (5) Ryanair, have been audited in respect of collection and payment of air passenger duty.[HL1502]

I refer the noble Lord to the answer I gave on 3 July (Official Report, col. WA 134). Airlines are audited on a rolling basis, in line with many of the other taxes managed by HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC).
The frequency of these audits for individual airlines is subject to HMRC rules on taxpayer confidentiality.

The intention is that the Government will see the effect of these new regulations as early as possible. My speech was carefully crafted but if I have missed anything out I shall of course write to noble Lords to clarify any details as necessary. Sitting suspended.

I asked whether what the Minister in another place said was true—that implementation would be delayed until the end of 2014.

My Lords, I think it is probably better if I concentrate on answering as much as I can and, if necessary, write to my noble friend. Aviation is fundamentally an international business. The Government do not intend to introduce tighter restrictions on airline pricing policies in isolation. The European Commission...
