Written question asked by Lord Stone of Blackheath (Labour) on Monday, 13 November 2017, in the House of Lords. It was due for an answer on Monday, 27 November 2017. It was answered by Baroness Sugg (Conservative) on Thursday, 16 November 2017 on behalf of the Department for Transport.


Aviation: Egypt

Question

To ask Her Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by Baroness Sugg on 7 November (HL2559), when they last carried out an assessment of Sharm el Sheikh airport; and whether that assessment involved UK officials visiting that airport.

Answer

Further to my response on 7 November (HL2559), Department for Transport officials have regularly visited Sharm el Sheikh airport. However, it is long-standing government policy not to publish the detail of aviation security assessments, including the dates of those assessments, for any location for reasons of both security and protecting international relations.
