Mr. Mike Tretheway at the Transport, Infrastructure and Communities Committee

I will answer what I think the question is. Certainly state intervention is important, and not just in aviation maintenance but in the film industry—there are lots of industries. My own opinion as an economist is that state intervention through forcing carriers to have to compete to do things a certain way is not the way to go. If state intervention is there, it should be in the form of incentives for education and incentives for investment, and that's what they've done very successfully in Singapore.
