Proceeding contribution from Mike Kane (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 28 January 2025. It occurred during Urgent question on Airport Expansion.


Airport Expansion

I think that that involves fixing the problems with Eurostar. We are seeing others coming into that market, and European Union colleagues are running overnight long-distance train services, which are reducing the need for aviation across the continent and reducing carbon. We should be ambitious as a country that we can tap into that network. The right hon. Gentleman is right on this matter.
