The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what assessment her Department has made of the potential merits of negotiating regulatory alignment with the European Union Aviation Safety Agency.

Answered by Keir Mather

The Government has been clear that it will work to reset the relationship with Europe, strengthen ties, and tackle barriers to trade. As part of this, the Government is continuing to seek expansions to the Aviation Safety Chapter of the Trade and Cooperation Agreement (TCA) where appropriate. We remain committed to establishing closer cooperation with the EU where possible.
