SCOTLAND'S AIRPORTS

Early day motion 1890, tabled 23 March 2006 by John Barrett (Liberal Democrat). Signed by 14 members.

That this House recognises the efforts being made to increase the number of international visitors to Scotland and acknowledges the importance of Scottish business in an increasingly global and competitive market; believes a key factor in achieving these aims is the provision of direct international flights to and from Scotland; and believes the effective branding and marketing of Scotland's international image is critical in attracting new international routes and new foreign visitors and that this work is supported by keeping Scotland's main airports named after the cities they serve, each of which has proud individual brands in its own right, brands that are recognised throughout the world.

Signatures by party: Labour 11, Liberal Democrat 3.
