Airports: Sales

Question
(2) when he last met representatives from (a) BAA and (b) the Competition Commission to discuss the sale of (i) Edinburgh and (ii) Glasgow airport.
Answer

The Competition Commission's market inquiry into BAA's ownership of seven UK airports included a recommendation that BAA should sell one of either Edinburgh or Glasgow airports. I have had no meetings with either BAA or the Commission on this matter. The Commission's decisions are currently the subject of legal process and it would not therefore be appropriate to comment further at this time.
