CLIFFE AIRPORT

Early day motion 457, tabled 7 January 2003 by Bob Spink (Conservative). Signed by 16 members.

That this House notes the extension of the air transport consultation to consider Gatwick as an option in the South East; further notes the overwhelming public rejection of a five runway, new hub airport, operating 24 hours each day, at Cliffe; believes that the continuing uncertainty is causing great concern and blighting the lives of many people in Kent and Essex; and urges the Government to make the earliest possible announcement and reject the Cliffe option.

Signatures by party: Labour 9, Conservative 6, Liberal Democrat 1.
