M25 AND TERMINAL 5

Early day motion 241, tabled 14 July 1997 by Andrew MacKinlay (Labour). Signed by 20 members.

That this House believes environmental protection and a shift from road to rail as part of an integrated transport strategy must be put before the desire of BAA and British Airways for 12-lane superhighway access to the proposed Terminal 5 at Heathrow by means of a widened M25; and believes that no decision to give the go-ahead for the M25 scheme between junctions 12 and 15 should be taken without the full rigours and scrutiny of a public inquiry at which opponents of the plan have a fair opportunity to express their view.

Signatures by party: Labour 16, Liberal Democrat 4.
