Part of Oral Answers to Questions — Defence – in the House of Commons at 2:30 pm on 30th March 2009.

We all understand the consequences of serious delay, and the effect that it can have on morale and families. We do everything that we can to minimise that. Sometimes, unfortunately and for a variety of reasons, there will be delays, but 92 per cent. of flights arrive within six hours of their scheduled arrival time.
