Yes Minister - Yorkshire MP gives Sir Howard Davies some advice !
Transport committee hearing interim report on Davies Commission, from a couple of hours ago.
Some well articulated words at point minute 45 Jason McCartney about "The North" and its contribution to this debate.
Pity it took "Mr Yorkshire" to raise the profile of The North AND primarily Manchester........ I despair !
"So did you visit Manchester"
"you visited Birmingham (
wrong horse) so are you planning on a visit to Manchester Airport "
"I really think you should visit Manchester"
That said Graham Stringer waded in AGAIN and indicated that EVERYTIME an airline applies for open skies Ex Manchester a South East based airline cries foul....
Mr Davies and Tonto became somewhat confused at this point !
They won't fly direct from MAN themselves BUT woe betide anybody from a foreign land prepared to offer that service.......and so it goes on !

No idea who the clumsy somewhat flustered "office junior" is supposedly supporting Mr Davies.
