Proceeding contribution from Lord Bruce of Bennachie (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 16 March 2010. It occurred during Urgent question on British Airways Strike.


British Airways Strike

Following that question, with Aberdeen airport in my constituency and as a regular user of BA, I welcome the fact that BA has protected some of the services at Aberdeen because it recognises how important it is, but the situation is still inadequate. May I follow up the point made by my hon. Friend the Member for Lewes (Norman Baker) about compensation? I am told that people who have discounted tickets are being told that no refunds will be provided following industrial action. Will the Government intervene to ensure that that issue is addressed, and will the Minister do everything he can to ensure that this strike does not destroy British Airways, because the union does not seem to understand that?
