PUBLIC OWNERSHIP OF BRITISH AIRWAYS

Early day motion 1861, tabled 13 July 2009 by John McDonnell (Labour). Signed by 22 members.

That this House notes with concern that British Airways is suffering its worst financial year since its privatisation with passenger numbers falling, its share value hitting an historic low and with a threatened loss of 4,000 jobs; and, bearing in mind that no successful country should stand by and allow its national airline to fail, calls on the Government to stand ready to return British Airways to public ownership.

Signatures by party: Labour 16, Independent 2, Liberal Democrat 2, DUP 1, Respect 1.
