PANORAMA AND HEATHROW AIRPORT

Early day motion 2105, tabled 21 July 2008 by John McDonnell (Labour). Signed by 22 members.

That this House notes with extreme concern the investigation by the BBC's Panorama into the development of the proposals to expand Heathrow Airport; and, in the light of the findings of this investigation, calls upon the Government to reject the proposals for a third runway and sixth terminal at Heathrow and to set up urgently an independent public inquiry into the process used to develop and consult upon the expansion proposals, and in particular the role of BAA and the aviation industry in this process.

Signatures by party: Labour 14, Liberal Democrat 4, Independent 2, Plaid Cymru 1, Social Democratic and Labour Party 1.
