It was in the House of Commons and I have a copy of the relevant page if I can dig it out from the mountain of papers I have in my attic. The word "cheers" is not used but another word with a similar meaning. I came across this when researching for my book on Glasgow Airport as I found it mentioned in another book on British Eagle/Glasgow and I could not believe that MPs of whatever hue could be capable of finding delight in the loss of peoples livelihoods so I contacted the person who runs one of the two British Eagle websites who confirmed the story but again I wanted the proof. The place I suspect this has come from is how the newspapers reported this.
