This Memorandum of Understanding (“MoU”) in respect of aviation security sets out the broad division of responsibilities between the Secretary of State for Transport (the “SoS”) and the Civil Aviation Authority (the “CAA”) (together “the Participants”) in respect of the regulation of aviation security, following the transfer to the CAA of certain aviation security functions with effect from 1 April 2014. It should be read in conjunction with the overarching SoS/CAA Framework Document that sets out the broader relationship between the SoS and the CAA. A detailed delineation of the respective aviation security roles of each of the Participants is set out in the Statement of Responsibilities (“SoR”), a copy of which is attached as an Annex to this MoU.
