Examination of Witnesses (Questions 7484
- 7489)
7484. Chairman: Can I just say as to
what I have said in the past, it will not be necessary today to
have a cup of tea at 11.30.
7485. Ms Lieven: We would be delighted
to have a cup of tea with you, but there does not seem to be anybody
else. There is no business this morning. Very briefly: London
& Continental have settled and will withdraw their Petition
once the undertaking is signed. Loon Fung have settled and, similarly,
will withdraw once the undertaking is signed. The three other
Petitioners, City Aviation, London City Airport and Marketspur,
who are all basically in the same pond, have been agreed in principle
and an undertaking is being prepared, and we are so close to agreeing
with them that we agreed to defer the Petition because there is
no point wasting the Committee's time with that this morning.
7486. Chairman: Today is time for us
to reflect on, perhaps, yesterday or the day before in Parliament.
7487. Ms Lieven: Yes, there are matters
to reflect upon, I suspect.
7488. Chairman: That means that next
Tuesday was to be a day for a session, but we will next meet at
10 am on Wednesday.
7489. Ms Lieven: Indeed, sir, thank you
very much.
