FDF "As a member of the Transport Select Committee he must have seen reams of paperwork, heard hours of evidence, and interviewed many in the aviation industry so can be expected to have a reasonable grasp of the issues". (apologies for not managing proper quote)
A fair point, but what's disappointing is that Mr Stringer, in criticising Charlie Cornish, appeared not to take the opportunity of stating that expansion at LHR needn't be at the expense of MAN which can grow in its own right, if he believes that to be the case. If that isn't his view, then coming from a Manchester MP, it is a little worrying.
The other aspect though is that if all the MPs on the Select Committee signed up to the report (even if there were any dissenters), it would be difficult for Stringer to change his tune now. At least with STN out of the equation, MAN is making its view heard.
