Jeffrey Epstein

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if she will take steps to ensure that conversations take place with contemporary handlers, ground staff or airport executives regarding flights into and out of Stansted Airport allegedly linked to Jeffrey Epstein.

Answered by Keir Mather

Airports and airlines must operate in full compliance with all UK laws and regulatory standards to ensure safety, security, and accountability.

If those laws are broken it is our expectation that any and all information useful to inquiries by the relevant authorities is swiftly obtained and passed on.

The Home Office is the lead department for these matters. It would not be appropriate to comment on any ongoing investigations.
