A spokesperson for the government’s Department for Business and Trade, which has oversight for reform of the Package Travel Regulations, told Abta’s Travel Law seminar on Wednesday (10 May) the ball was in travel’s court to encourage ministers to pursue a more joined-up approach.
"You will probably need to bring ourselves and the Department for Transport (DfT) together in order to make that actually happen,” assistant director for partnerships and international consumer team Craig Belsham told delegates. “[But] because of the separation of responsibilities, I don’t see that happening.”
