While it is encouraging to hear that fresh moves are afoot to review the master development plan because it does seem to be totally out of kilter with the direction of transport planning, does that mean that the developments in phase one are now totally up for grabs because there is quite a lot of expansion? Is it appropriate that City Airport flights which fly to Paris and Brussels should continue?

We are told that since we started asking questions he in particular has been amazed at the volume of travelling going on.

One of the considerations might be that we have had very clear ones to Cuba, Venezuela etc, which do not strike us as being those areas which would be immediately promoting London as such an important international city. Clearly, that is a priority. Why?
