The Lord Privy Seal (Baroness Stowell of Beeston) (Con)
My Lords, I think the House is calling for my noble friend Lord Tebbit.
Lord Tebbit
My Lords, should we not recollect that major international airlines cannot be compelled to fly into airports they do not wish to go to? Should we not all agree now that the alternatives to Heathrow are not Birmingham or Stansted, but Schiphol, Paris and Frankfurt? Either we can have the business in this country, in London, or it will go to the continent.
