With tomorrow’s public sector workers’ strike looming large, a West London MP calls for Heathrow to be shut down in the interests of passenger safety.
Labour MP John McDonnell whose constituency Hayes and Harlington covers Heathrow Airport, has expressed concerns that the mass walkout will leave the airport with inadequate safety and security provision.
Although airport managers have been working to draft in additional staff to cover the period of strike action, McDonnell maintains that the airport will essentially be left “in the hands of workers who are untrained in airport security or, at most, have had an inadequate couple of days' training.”
He went on to add, “I believe that if the government cannot settle this dispute in the next 24 hours the airport should be closed to ensure the safety and security of all those travelling and working at Heathrow.”
His comments are likely to add to the feelings of disquiet already felt among the travel industry as a whole, with many airlines advising passengers not to fly tomorrow amid fears of long delays at passport control and security.
