Jim’s conferences hit the headlines
At a recent Runways UK conference, under Jim’s questioning, Sir Howard Davies, head of the Airports Commission, expressed his frustration at the government’s delay in making a decision on Heathrow or Gatwick getting an extra runway. This made the City Diary column of The Daily Telegraph in December 2014.
