Ministers are considering a number of ways to help Britons stranded by flight restrictions imposed after volcanic ash from Iceland drifted over the UK.
Ideas to emerge from a Downing Street meeting include using Spain as a flight hub, requisitioning commercial vessels and a role for the Royal Navy.
His lordship was hoping that an aircraft of the Royal Flight might be scrambled for him. Anyone out there with any influence? I have a seat in the dress circle at the Grand Opera House, Belfast, on Thursday evening, so they had better take action instanter.

Ha ha! Having fun tapping away here, Alan. Amuses me greatly.
Could you become an MP? Then demand a private helicopter? So sorry you are stuck - are you with a gang of chums?
An MP, with some of my views? Not sure I'd make a terrific team member.
I'm solo, Sharon. I suppose there could be worse places to be stranded; and lots of people must be in more difficult circs. than me.
Mind you, heaven knows what the airport will be like when we get to it!
