Lord Tyler asked Her Majesty's Government: What action has been taken to
ensure that captains of civil aircraft are made aware of the possible health
implications for crew and passengers of pyrolised products in the air supply
system so that they may fully discharge a duty of care in accordance with Power
of Commander. [HL1937]
Lord Davies of
Oldham: The first step is to identify whether and if so what health implications
may arise for crew and passengers.
The
Government is presently considering literature submitted by the British Airline
Pilots Association (BALPA) about possible health effects of pyrolised products
in the cabin air supply and will decide on further action when the results of
that analysis are known.
