Proceeding contribution from Andy Slaughter (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 1 May 2019. It occurred during Opposition day on Environment and Climate Change.


Environment and Climate Change

At the opposite extreme to my right hon. Friend’s bicycle, the largest source of carbon emissions in the country is of course Heathrow airport. Given that, is it not folly to be going ahead with a third runway at Heathrow? Would not it be a clear indication from the Secretary of State today if he said the Government were not pursuing that course?
