Minister to appear on TV

PHILIP HAMMOND, Britain’s new Secretary of State for Transport, will be appearing in front of the new House of Commons Transport Committee today (Monday 26 July).  The interview is transmitted (from 16:00) on Parliament Live (Channel 81) and might even extract some indication on the Government’s plans for air transport, its only utterances since coming into power somewhat negative.  The title of the session “Priorities for Transport,” offers no prizes for guessing the range of questions covering travel by land, sea and air.  At Farnborough whilst Ministers Dr Vince Cable (Business, Innovation and Skills), Liam Fox (Defence), David Willetts (Universities and Science) and Baroness Neville-Jones (Security and Counter-Terrorism) took part in the new conference programme, the man responsible for the output of the commercial aviation business failed to put in an appearance. www.parliamentlive.tv
