Opposing Heathrow Expansion

On Tuesday I led a delegation of MPs to meet Gordon Brown to express our opposition not only to R3 but also Mixed Mode - the ending of runway alternation which would bring all-day misery to those currently under the flight paths but granted a half-day respite.

The delegation is pictured above and included (left to right) Alan Keen MP for Feltham & Heston, Ann Keen MP for Brentford & Isleworth, Martin Salter MP for Reading West, John McDonell MP for Hayes & Harlington, myself and Martin Linton MP for Battersea.
