MP meets minister over Durham Tees Valley Airport future
21.03.12
Stockton South MP James Wharton has met the Transport Secretary to discuss the future of Durham Tees Valley Airport, the Gazette reports. His talks with Justine Greening centred on Government plans to publish a sustainable aviation framework which would look to address the needs of regional airports.
The meeting was arranged at Mr Wharton’s request and held last week in the Commons. Mr Wharton told the newspaper: ‘It was a useful opportunity to discuss such an important issue with someone at the very top of Government. Teesside Airport needs all the support it can get and raising political awareness is part of that process.'
A further meeting of Tees Valley MPs with junior Transport Minister Theresa Villiers will be held later this month.
