Carol, cheap foreign holidays are enormously important to many people. Do you believe we should take fewer holidays overseas in order to reduce the need to build additional runway capacity?

It's not the annual summer holiday that needs to be curbed but there must be a question mark over whether it is sustainable for a minority of the population to be constantly jetting off for short leisure breaks to the Continent, simply because its cheaper than a weekend break in the Cotswolds or the Norfolk Broads or wherever. And the reason its cheaper is that airlines pay no fuel duty, no VAT and don't have to meet their environmental costs. So the price is artifically low. This makes no sense either from an environmental standpoint or from an economic standpoint. Show less »

There's only one back yard so far as global warming is concerned so the 'Nimby' argument hardly applies.
Can you tell me how many flights have been made by SSE members in or out of stansted in the last 2 years?

No idea of the number. SSE is not anti-Stansted or anti-flying. It's a question of moderation and striking the right balance.
How many of your members have moved into the area knowing at the time their is a potentially expanding international airport close by?

Bearing in mind BAA's been in the business of running airports for many years. Do you think SSE members are able to run the airport more sustainably than BAA?

Some people would say that we couldn't possibly to do any worse. Of course we could not possibly comment!
