To ask Her Majesty's Government, further to their decision to provide state aid to
Flybe, what assessment they have made of the case for (1) planning for a possible
public take-over of essential regional and short-haul airlines in the event of a collapse
of an operating company, on a similar basis to that with London North Eastern Railway
on the East Coast main line or otherwise, and (2) improvements in the railway network
between the regional centres, in particular on the north-east and south-west axis
between Exeter, Bristol and Birmingham, in addition to HS2 between Birmingham and
the north-east.
