FUNDING OF THE AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL SERVICE

Early day motion 290, tabled 23 October 2001 by John McDonnell (Labour). Signed by 35 members.

That this House notes that the Government's sale of National Air Traffic Services (NATS) is in crisis with the prospect of the airline group seeking public subsidies less than six months after the purchase date; and calls upon the Government to reject any requests for financial assistance from these private companies and instead to bring NATS under the ownership and control of a non-profit making trust.

Signatures by party: Labour 19, Liberal Democrat 12, Labour/Co-operative 2, Plaid Cymru 2.
