Civil Aviation Bill

On a point of order, Mr. Speaker. The Secretary of State for Transport told the Select Committee that he would seek our dispensation so that he could today make a statement on financial protection for air passengers. I understand that this, the most controversial part of the Bill, will not be debated during our consideration of amendments. It is worrying that financial protection for air travellers will not be available after two years’ consultation, and we are very concerned about that. May I have your guidance, Sir?
