Jim McMahon responds to Grant Shapps' remarks to Transport Select Committee

"It's been a year since the Chancellor promised a sector support package for the aviation industry, but now the Transport Secretary tells us there won't even be a recovery plan - with no guarantee of financial help - until later this year.

"This is simply not good enough for the thousands of workers who have lost or face losing their jobs right now.

"Labour has called for a proper package of financial support for aviation, with clear conditions on environmental protections and workers' rights."
