I am sorry, but may I ask the Minister a specific question because I know time is running short? Has consideration been given to funding airlines to service key routes to important destinations which might otherwise not be profitable to recognise their importance to the region, although demand is low? I refer particularly to direct access to London Heathrow and the east coast of the United States, principally New York and Boston. The Minister will know that there is a considerable amount of foreign investment from American companies in the mid-west. It is really important that their executives have access to the area.
