Jason McCartney has been outspoken in terms of why Manchester never formed part of the Airport Capacity debate , one which started as one about all UK airports but somehow "morphed" into one specifically about the South East !
I'm not aware that anyone on the Transport Select Committee or any of the other interested parties have questioned whether Davies has reinterpreted his original remit, and if so why. Perhaps it was inevitable it would come down to a choice between LHR and LGW but I feel he has given short shrift to the role that regional airports can play other than to emphasise 'connectivity' to London, at least from what has been reported. It's surprising in my view that people like
G Stringer MP appear to have accepted the claim that expansion of Heathrow will benefit the regions (implying all regions and by inference all regional airports). That is a highly questionable assertion for some of us.
