Proceeding contribution from Geoffrey Hoon (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 11 November 2008. It occurred during Debate on Heathrow.

Heathrow

My hon. Friend makes a very powerful point; the Conservative party, in its various guises, whether in support of the Mayor of London or not, seems to have completely overlooked the fact that 70,000 people work at Heathrow and a further 30,000 work in the immediate vicinity, and they will have to find a way to the Thames estuary if they are to continue in employment—although, historically, the Conservative party has not much cared about people’s employment prospects
