Motion Text

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.
