Heathrow Airport: Security

Volume 477: debated on Tuesday 17 June 2008

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport how many times she has asked (a) BA and (b) BAA for a report on security at Heathrow Terminal 5 in the last 12 months. (209267)

The Department for Transport works closely with industry to ensure that security measures set out on the National Aviation Security Programme are delivered. The Department monitors the level of compliance through its inspectors who undertake announced and unannounced inspections and audits, and seek corrective action from industry where appropriate. We have worked particularly intensively with BA and BAA at Heathrow both prior to and since the opening of T5.
