'Wee Douglas' (as he is affectionately known by his constituents) Alexander's comments on cheap air travel caught my eye (
BBC report).
Quote:
He said that while he did not want to prevent people enjoying the benefits of cheap air travel, he was concerned about the environmental impact.
"This is not simply a domestic problem, this is a challenge we need to meet internationally," he said.
"We believe the right way to address those environmental concerns is to bring aircraft within the emissions trading scheme we are trying to get established at the European Union.
Hmmm, nice bit of buck-passing there?! What a coincidence that Glasgow Airport is slap bang in the middle of his constituency and is thriving thanks to the capital brought in by EasyJet.
Clearly he knows what side his bread is buttered on.....
