RECOMMISSIONING OF CONCORDE AS ROYAL AIR FORCE ONE

Motion Text

That this House calls upon the Government to bring a Concorde jet back into service as a new Royal Plane entitled `Royal Air Force One'; recognises the prestige lost to the country when supersonic flights were cancelled; accepts that Concorde may not be commercially viable but could act in a Royal capacity, surpassing jets used by other Heads of State; notes the unrivalled safety record of the British-operated Concordes; and deplores the way the jets are being left to decay.
