Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if he will publish a response to EDM 418 on British Airways job losses.
We recognise that the recent news regarding job losses at British Airways will be very distressing for the airline’s employees and their families.
The aviation sector is essential to the UK economy, and we encourage firms to draw on the unprecedented package of measures we have made available to support them through this time. This includes schemes to raise capital, flexibilities with tax bills, and financial support for employees.
