I have not been able to find the Midlands News item on iplayer or whatever, but on reflection Ms Greening made her strange comment after saying something about new destinations in the Far East from "BHXplus". Surely she doesn't think that pax only fly "one-way" round the World? ie Fly into Heathrow from the West and then HS2-it to an expanded BHX for a long-haul flight to the Far East?
On reflection I am not sure she was sure what she was saying, but without a transcript we had better leave her to it!
