Breaking the Holding Pattern--A new approach to aviation policy making in the UK

One report which has just been published and i hadn't yet heard of --ok it's been out a day!--is by the Institute of Public Policy Research (IPPR) and the Sustainable Development Comission (SDC).

and NGOs. This report presents our observations from the assessment, followed by our recommendations for government.
