Proceeding contribution from Graham Stringer (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 10 October 2005. It occurred during Debate on bill on Civil Aviation Bill.


Civil Aviation Bill

It has been a mistake to believe that we could stay at the forefront of the aviation industry and say that Heathrow did not need a third runway. I have always been very clear about that. I agreed with my hon. Friend’s analysis previously. My understanding of BAA’s position is that it has left it up to the Government to say where the extra runways should go. I am getting off the point—I shall get back on to it—but that is an argument for breaking up BAA, and I know that you will not let me go down that path, Mr. Deputy Speaker.
