QUEUING AT HEATHROW AIRPORT

That this House notes that the British Airports Authority wrote to the Government expressing its concern at the lengthy queuing by passengers at Heathrow Airport caused by the lack of fully trained border control staff resulting from Government staffing cutbacks; considers that this country will be deeply embarrassed if visitors to it over the coming weeks risk spending more time queuing than enjoying the Olympics; and given the failure of the responsible Minister to address this problem effectively, despite repeated warnings from the Public and Commercial Services Unionwhich represents the border control staff,calls on the Prime Minister to intervene urgently and take personal responsibility for resolving this potential nightmare.
