Windsor MP believes Government can be forced into a Third
Runway u-turn
Thursday, 16th October 2008. Press Release.
In a
cross-party effort to keep up the pressure on the Government
over their Heathrow Expansion plans, Windsor MP, Adam
Afriyie, met this week with other Members of Parliament,
Peers and environmental lobbyists to plan the next stage of
their united campaign.
Following the meeting Adam Afriyie MP said:
“I am
encouraged that Project Heathrow Watch meetings continue to
focus our cross party campaigns in Parliament.
“We have
made it clear that the third runway will not go ahead with a
Conservative Government, but we will invest instead in
cleaner and more efficient high speed rail
“It’s
great that MPs of all parties are supporting this fight and
I once again urge the Government to put their plans on hold
especially given the economic downturn
“I
believe it is quite possible that the Government will be
forced into a u-turn which will benefit residents under
flight paths and the UK economy
“Following the Government’s recent announcement about
Stansted expansion, it is vital that we continue to keep the
pressure up, before the result of the Adding Capacity
Consultation is announced.

I
believe...
People are happier when making their own decisions.
Business is the engine of the economy that generates our
jobs, incomes and taxes.
Government should not interfere in our lives beyond
protecting and defending us.
