Air Travel Organisers' Licensing Bill — Clause 2 — Air Travel Organisers' Licences — Impact Assessment — 11 Jul 2017 at 17:15
Margaret Beckett MP, Derby South voted for an impact assessment prior to introducing new forms of qualifying trust into the Air Travel Organisers' Licences (ATOL) consumer protection arrangements.
The majority of MPs voted for an impact assessment prior to introducing new forms of qualifying trust into the Air Travel Organisers' Licences (ATOL) consumer protection arrangements.
MPs were considering the Air Travel Organisers' Licensing Bill[1].
The amendment rejected in this vote was:
- amendment 1, page 2, line 10, at end insert—
- "(8) Regulations under subsection (6) may not be laid before Parliament until the Secretary of State has published an assessment of their impact and has launched a consultation on the proposed amendments to the definition of "Air Travel Trust"."
The rejected amendment was accompanied by the following explanatory note:
- This amendment requires the Secretary of State to undertake an impact assessment and launch a consultation before bringing forward any regulations to amend the definition of Air Travel Trust under this Act.
Had it not been rejected the amendment would have added a new subclause to a proposed addition to section 71A of the Civil Aviation Act 1982 provided for in Clause 2 of the Bill[2]. The proposed addition enables new "qualifying trusts" to be added to the ATOL consumer protection arrangements.
The Explanatory Notes to the Bill explain:
- The Air Travel Trust is the trust arrangement ... under which contributions from ATOL holders are held and CAA trustees are given powers to compensate consumers.
- ...
- Subsection (2) enables the Secretary of State to incorporate, by way of regulations, new forms of qualifying trust into the ATOL trust arrangement. The primary purpose of any new trust will still be consumer protection in relation to the sale of flight accommodation.
