Speaking at a media huddle before boarding the landmark flight VS100 from Heathrow to New York’s JFK on Tuesday (28 November), Harper said the government’s role in the process was “to set the outcomes”, with the industry responsible for “the innovations” in how to achieve them.
“We let the industry work out how to deliver it. You get a more efficient, more innovative solution if you then let business work out how to get to the outcome rather than government trying to micro manage every step of the way," he said.
