LONDON, July 20 (Reuters) - London's High Court on Tuesday
ruled Britain did not act unlawfully over its so-called traffic
lights system for travellers entering Britain in a case brought
by Manchester Airports Group, backed by a number of airlines.
While the court accepted part of the argument against the
government, it did not find that the transport minister had
acted unlawfully, and the government will not have to disclose
more information on how it reaches decisions over its travel
rules.
"British businesses and consumers deserve to understand how
the Government takes decisions on the traffic light system so
that they can book their travel with confidence," said a joint
statement from the bosses of the airlines involved, including
easyJet and Ryanair.
