‹ Order of Business Parliamentary veto over Heathrow slots
Summary
Senator Whelan says Parliament already has a veto over any sale of Heathrow slots and rejects attempts to give such power to chambers of commerce.
I am looking for a debate. We should discuss this at every opportunity because the more information we have and the better informed we are, the better.
I remind Members that there is already a veto in existence. This Parliament has a veto on any sale of the Heathrow slots, and we do not need British Airways to have any fanciful notion that it could extend such a veto to the chambers of commerce.
