Proceeding contribution from Deirdre Costigan (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 9 September 2026. It occurred during Debate on bill on Civil Aviation (Consumer Protection and Regulatory Reform) Bill [Lords].


Civil Aviation (Consumer Protection and Regulatory Reform) Bill [Lords]

My hon. Friend and neighbour mentions the Elizabeth line—we cannot miss that out when talking about connectivity to Heathrow—which has transformed my constituents’ lives. However, in line with another neighbour, my hon. Friend the Member for Uxbridge and South Ruislip (Danny Beales)—his constituents appear to be throwing stones at the airport; mine are not—may I raise overcrowding on the Elizabeth line? I know that that is being looked at and there is the potential to run further trains, but in the rush hour in particular, and when lots of people have cases, it can be a nightmare for my constituents.
