BRITISH AIRWAYS JOB LOSSES AT GLASGOW AIRPORT

Early day motion 2208, tabled 8 October 2008 by Jim Sheridan (Labour). Signed by 40 members.

That this House expresses its concern at the continuing loss of jobs by British Airways staff at Glasgow Airport and other regional airports across the UK; notes that these job losses demonstrate a clear lack of commitment by BA to serving regional airports outside London, are not in the best interests of the travelling public, undermine the long-term security of the workforce and treat regional airports such as Glasgow as trading posts; and believes that British Airways should reconsider this decision or go the whole way and rebrand themselves London Airways.

Signatures by party: Labour 33, Liberal Democrat 5, Independent 1, Social Democratic and Labour Party 1.
