The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Transport (Mr Robert Goodwill)
It certainly is disturbing news, given the importance that we place on regional airports. It is disappointing that Manston has not been able to attract some of the low-cost carriers that it hoped to, but I am certainly happy to meet my hon. Friend to see whether there is a way forward.
Jim Shannon (Strangford) (DUP)
Will the Secretary of State make bus driver disability awareness training compulsory in his Department’s review of the EU bus and coach regulation this month?
Mr McLoughlin
That has been mentioned to me, and I will certainly want to look into it. I will write to the hon. Gentleman in more detail.
