Chris Heaton-Harris
I think I can stand up and speak for the nation when I say the only sense of dread and doom I have is when the hon. Gentleman is ready to speak.
Henry Smith (Crawley) (Con)
I remind my hon. Friend that we both stood on an election promise that no deal was better than a bad deal, but beyond that can he confirm that aviation agreements are in place so that planes will be flying to and from Gatwick and other UK airports on 30 March?
Chris Heaton-Harris
Yes, I can confirm that we have signed a whole suite of aviation agreements and that is the case.
