However, we said in last year’s Aviation Policy Framework that the aviation sector’s economic output to the whole UK economy in 2011 was approximately £18 billion, and that it employs around 220,000 workers directly and supports many more indirectly. We recognise that airports across the UK play an important role in securing connectivity for local populations and their contribution to local, regional and national economies.</p> answering member constituency Scarborough and Whitby answering member printed Mr Robert Goodwill question first answered 20/10/2014 16:11:18 answering member 1562 label Biography information for Sir Robert Goodwill
