To ask Her Majesty's Government whether they intend to publish the results of research carried out by the Civil Aviation Authority into allergen exposure in aircraft cabins; if so, when; and what plans they have to address severe allergic reactions on aircraft.

The Civil Aviation Authority has undertaken an evidence review of passenger exposure to peanuts and tree nut allergens on airlines to establish the scientific evidence for the risks, and to identify what mitigation measures, if any, would be appropriate on the basis of the evidence. The report is due to be published before the end of the year.

In its forthcoming Aviation Strategy green paper, the government is proposing a policy to provide consistent standards for allergy sufferers to make certain that consumers know what to expect when they fly.
