Bagso, do I take it that was a separate debate on Regional Airports on 15th July for which our local MP, Mike Kane, was congratulated all round on getting it called, from the transport debate reported in Hansard for 10 July. The latter also included some discussion on regional airports in which MAN got a warm endorsement from Sir Alan Haselhurst - a SE MP - but also from Robert Goodwill, Under-Secretary of State for Transport (MP for Scarborough). Ministers usually sit on the fence but he admitted to being a great fan of Manchester Airport and also referred to it's having "exciting plans for further development". Perhaps he knows more than us!
Surprised at Stringer's contribution. He used to be a useful advocate for MAN.
