But unless we are talking about the Boris's Island scenario, the issue is not the base level of activity and jobs. The prime choice is between a development at Gatwick with no taxpayer funding and a development at Heathrow with a significant public funding component. The issue is whether the extra benefits to the economy outside the perimeter fence of LHR3 justify that public funding contribution. Words like enormous and obvious don't really cut it. This is why the hub argument and trying to put some numbers to it is so important.
