Proceeding contribution from Graham Stringer (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 8 July 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill on Finance Bill.


Finance Bill

The studies carried out by Manchester airport and other parts of the industry show that it would be extremely difficult for the major regional airports to attract long-haul passenger flights if this were done on a per-plane basis. They also show—I am speaking from memory—that 80 per cent. of freight business in regional airports would go into deficit and would, in effect, be unable to trade for a profit. Will the hon. Gentleman consider that?
