Policing and Crime Act 2009

2009 CHAPTER 26

Territorial Extent and Application

Part 7 – Aviation Security

Section 80 Policing at airports and Schedule 6 Amendment of Part 3 of the Aviation Security Act 1982
Paragraphs 1-5 of Schedule 6 Amendment of Part 3 of the Aviation Security Act 1982

472.Schedule 6 amends Part 3 of the ASA. The general effect of this change has already been described.

473.Paragraph 2 of Schedule 6 repeals section 25 of the ASA, which currently permits the Secretary of State to designate aerodromes.

474.Paragraph 3 of Schedule 6 repeals section 25A of the ASA. The practical effect of this will be to remove the requirement contained in this section that the manager of a designated aerodrome and the chief officer of police consult with security stakeholders in relation to a range of stipulated matters. These include: measures required to be taken to comply with, or take account of, security directions taken under sections 12, 13, 13A and 14 of the ASA (see paragraph 387 of the explanatory notes for further information regarding these requirements); any national threat assessment; guidance issued by the Secretary of State relating to the policing of the aerodrome; other measures to be taken in relation to policing of the aerodrome; the extent to which security measures are being undertaken by security stakeholders other than the police; and the level of policing required at the aerodrome.

475.The requirement to consult on matters described at paragraph 474 of these notes is replaced by the requirement to conduct a multi agency risk assessment contained in section 24AC.

Impact Assessments

Impact Assessments generally accompany all UK Government interventions of a regulatory nature that affect the private sector, civil society organisations and public services. They apply regardless of whether the regulation originates from a domestic or international source and can accompany primary (Acts etc) and secondary legislation (SIs). An Impact Assessment allows those with an interest in the policy area to understand:

  • Why the government is proposing to intervene;
  • The main options the government is considering, and which one is preferred;
  • How and to what extent new policies may impact on them; and,
  • The estimated costs and benefits of proposed measures.
