Oh dear.
Following recent cock-ups with public pronouncements (Eye passim) has the Saviour of the Jammy Dodger lost the confidence of her departmental colleagues?
Although Theresa has responsibility for both Rail and Aviation the announcement today on reforming the framework for regulating airports was unveiled by no less a figure than Petrol-head himself!
Proposals designed to improve Britain's major airports were unveiled by Transport Secretary Philip Hammond today...
After careful consideration, the Government has decided not to give a new remit to Passenger Focus to represent air passengers as had previously been proposed. The Government believes that it is important to have strong passenger representation but that this is not the time to be make additional structural changes which will add to the regulatory burden on industry. It will therefore be exploring options for strengthening existing passenger representation arrangements.
Surely not the sort of nuts and bolts announcement that is usually made by a Secretary of State?
No matter.
Perhaps Theresa can now find time to answer some of those invitations that she is famous for ignoring?
