Part 1: Airspace change proposals Section 3: Direction to co-operate in airspace change proposal
Section 3 enables the Secretary of State to give a direction to a person involved in airspace change, requiring that person to co-operate with another person involved in airspace change, in order to assist that other person: to prepare an ACP or to take steps in preparation of such a proposal, to submit an airspace change proposal to the CAA, to obtain approval of an airspace change proposal submitted to the CAA, and/or review the operation of an ACP that has been implemented following approval. Before giving such a direction, the Secretary of State is required to consult both the person to whom the direction would be given and the person with whom co-operation would be directed.
	As with a direction under section 2, a direction would only be able to be given if the Secretary of State considers that it will assist in the delivery of the CAA’s airspace strategy.
	The co-operation required could involve providing information verbally or providing relevant documents, or co-operating in any other ways the Secretary of State considers appropriate. A direction could specify the dates that the person co-operating needs to complete the tasks by, as outlined in the direction. A direction may not require a person to provide information or documents that the person could not be compelled to provide in evidence in civil proceedings before the High Court or, in Scotland, the Court of Session.
