I remind members of the public that it is not appropriate to applaud.17:10 I congratulate Gavin Brown, both on his campaign against the drop-off charge and on securing this evening’s debate.I must say that I am surprised that, after all the bad publicity that the proposal received, BAA has continued to push on with the idea. That seems to be foolhardy at best. As many others have, I have asked what the reason is for the drop-off charge.
