Public Ownership Of British Airways

EDM number 1861 in 2008-09, proposed by John McDonnell on 13/07/2009.
Categorised under the topic of Aviation.

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.

This motion has been signed by a total of 22 MPs.
