Proceeding contribution from Rob Wilson (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 15 January 2009. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Transport Infrastructure.


Transport Infrastructure

Few people will take comfort from either of the Secretary of State's statements today. My constituents already suffer considerable noise pollution from Heathrow. The statement contains no real commitment to Airtrack, no money to extend Crossrail, no commitment to a third Thames bridge in my constituency and nothing to reduce pollution. Has not the Secretary of State merely proved the old adage that the emptiest vessel rattles the loudest?
