Tom Brake: Heathrow runway will inflict crippling noise and congestion on a million Londoners

Posted by Pete Dollimore | Updated 2016-10-26

Speaking in today's Commons debate on Heathrow expansion, Liberal Democrat MP for Carshalton and Wallington Tom Brake said:

“"I hope the government will recognise widespread hostility to Heathrow expansion and say 'no' to a third runway."

"Those are not my words, but those of our current Prime Minister back in December 2008."

"Why is the Government disregarding widespread hostility and bulldozing through a third runway that will inflict crippling noise, health-damaging air pollution and catastrophic congestion on a million Londoners?"
