Administrative / biographical background: |
The Civil Aviation Safety Adviser's Division was set up as a separate division in 1972 within the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI). After the DTI was split in 1974, aviation safety became the responsibility of Civil Aviation Division 1, and later Branch 3 of the Civil Aviation Policy Division, where it remained until 1983 when aviation functions were taken over by the Department of Transport. From then until 1988, responsibility for this function rested with the Civil Aviation Policy Division 3. In 1988 responsibilities were split between advice on civil aviation safety (which remained with Division 3), and aviation security matters, which now fell to Division 4. Aviation security remained with the latter division until 1991 when it became the responsibility of the new Transport Security Division. |
