Extract

First some independent comments about the access issues raised in the consultation document originally and in the White Paper most recently, and I can do so with a fair degree of independence because now having got the Heathrow Underground link all we have to do is to run it properly and some of the current problems will look after themselves

Perhaps I can give a somewhat independent view on the access issues for airports generally. Just for the record we are interested in access not only for air passengers but also for airport workers who are almost as numerous in their movements as the air passengers are, and those doing business at the airports, particularly those involved in the movement of commercial vehicles. Access is important because, first of all, it can consume a good deal of time and effort on the part of a passenger as part of his total journey.
