Proceeding contribution from John McDonnell (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 8 May 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Civil Aviation Bill 2005-06.


Civil Aviation Bill

As my hon. Friend is new to this brief I would like to mention the historical record of the past 40 years and more, as Heathrow has developed from a row of tents. As for the balance between the environment and the development of the airport, there has not been a single occasion throughout that whole period when Heathrow has come to the Government to ask for a development and the Government have not eventually conceded.
