Proceeding contribution from Gavin Shuker (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 30 January 2012. It occurred during Debate on bill on Civil Aviation Bill.


Civil Aviation Bill

My hon. Friend makes a good point about high-speed rail, which is not a substitute for additional air passenger transport movements. It may be excellent at linking, for example, Birmingham and Heathrow, and our Front-Bench team has suggested proposals about how better to do so. This is a real issue of capacity that affects our economy. We cannot leave it to future generations to solve the long-term problems that we must face up to ourselves.
