I still think the figure will be nearer the bottom end

I still think the figure will be nearer the top end. We'll have to disagree on this.

We do however as taxpayers need to know there will be value for money and a benefit to the whole of the UK.

For once I agree with you. That is the basis of my issue with the proposed LHR costings. There is a huge 'opportunity cost' associated with allocating substantial public funds to LHR instead of compelling infrastructure priorities in the regions.

Research suggests that the benefits to the UK from LHR expansion would more than pay for the cost paid by the taxpayer.

This depends upon whose research you believe. And note the 'opportunity cost' factor highlighted above.

Are you not willing/able to use the Quote function?

It's very hard to follow your posts which don't differentiate between what you are saying and what you are responding to.

Just a suggestion.
