Heathrow Expansion

EDM number 350 in 2007-08, proposed by Susan Kramer on 21/11/2007.
Categorised under the topics of Aviation, Climate change and Environmental protection.

That this House notes with concern that the Government has put forward proposals which could increase the number of annual flights at Heathrow from 473,000 in 2006 to 800,000; is alarmed that this will undermine attempts to tackle climate change; believes that the economic case for expansion at Heathrow has not been made; is concerned that ending runway alternation at Heathrow would end the half day of respite from aviation noise currently enjoyed by West London residents; believes that current measures to regulate noise levels around the airport are inadequate; notes that the ANASE study commissioned by the Department for Transport found that the `onset of community annoyance' occurs well below the existing threshold of an average 57 decibels; welcomes the formation by 12 local authorities of the 2M Group, representing the interests of the two million people, whose quality of life is affected by Heathrow; regrets BAA's heavy-handed attempts to prevent protests over the summer; notes that the history of assurances given to residents by both Government and BAA does not inspire confidence that the views of local people will be taken seriously; and therefore opposes any plans to reduce or end runway alternation or to build a third runway and 6th terminal at Heathrow.

This motion has been signed by a total of 54 MPs.
