Part of Oral Answers to Questions — Transport – in the House of Commons at 9:30 am on 28th February 2013.

Friend Sir Alan Haselhurst has supported and advocated that for some time. As for the hon. Gentleman’s point about wider airports, obviously every case has to be looked at individually by the proper authorities.
