Speeches by Cadbury.

“I am here because I am Chair of the Transport Committee rather than a representative of people who work at Heathrow. Your point, Chair, is that anybody who has a job already at Heathrow would not be threatened by expansion not going ahead, which, according to The Telegraph, Heathrow appeared to suggest it cannot afford…”

“We are coming on to noise specifically. I want to ask about the environmental impact of expansion on existing runways because you particularly mentioned that, Ms Warrington. You talked about the environmental effect of the construction of another runway, but would putting more flights and increasing passengers on exist…”

“I have a geographical question. The Government have focused on airport expansion mainly in and around London, which has six airports. As London is the city most impacted by aviation pollution in the world, does this concern you?”

“Paul Beckford, the GLA has environmental aims and presumably some targets, and we have expansion plans or approvals for Heathrow, Gatwick and Luton. What impact would all those expansion plans going ahead have on the GLA’s targets?”

“Would you include the impact that the ULEZ already seems to be having? Is that success also in jeopardy should particularly the London City airport and Heathrow expansion go ahead?”

“And for Heathrow airport, in terms of getting people who work there in and out.”

“We have been focusing on expansion and taking the rise in demand as read. I would like to probe that. I do not mind which of you answers, but what is causing the rise in demand? Who is flying more? Is it Brits flying abroad? Is it overseas people bringing money and jobs and whatever to the UK? Is it long haul or short …”

“Is it Brits flying abroad or overseas people spending money in the UK?”

“Could I slip in with a quick supplementary on that piece of work. Am I right that that piece of work by the commission or the DFT said that growing Heathrow, as you say, would not bring net economic benefits to the UK but would draw growth away from the UK regions?”

“Sorry, Chair, I need to declare an interest.”

“I know Paul Beckford because, when I was deputy leader of Hounslow council from 2010 to 2012, the council employed Paul as a consultant on Heathrow issues.”

“I am here because I am Chair of the Transport Committee rather than a representative of people who work at Heathrow. Your point, Chair, is that anybody who has a job already at Heathrow would not be threatened by expansion not going ahead, which, according to The Telegraph, Heathrow appeared to suggest it cannot afford…”

“We are coming on to noise specifically. I want to ask about the environmental impact of expansion on existing runways because you particularly mentioned that, Ms Warrington. You talked about the environmental effect of the construction of another runway, but would putting more flights and increasing passengers on exist…”

“The people of Gaza are being starved deliberately, and they need full, immediate, unimpeded delivery of adequate aid. Will the UK Government insist that Israel ensures that aid is distributed not by private military contractors, but by the UN and international agencies, according to the UN’s recognised humanitarian pri…”

“My issue with the hon. Member for Gordon and Buchan (Harriet Cross) is that she has knocked me off my place as the second-fastest woman MP marathon runner—but I will be back. While thousands of airline passengers were impacted by Monday’s outage across Spain and Portugal, only 500 flights were grounded out of a possibl…”

“T7. Electric vehicle sales growth is at risk of slowing down. Many private car and fleet owners would transition to EVs, but patchy provision of public charging for those unable to charge at home and inadequate power capacity for rapid charging on our strategic road network for long-distance drivers are two key reasons…”

“I congratulate the hon. Member for Didcot and Wantage (Olly Glover) on securing the debate and on his excellent speech. I will focus on the school streets initiative, which has already got many more families in Hounslow walking, cycling and scooting to school, and it will have a similar effect elsewhere. The school str…”

“I will move on to rail. Your announcements on the weekend on rail schemes, particularly around the trans-Pennine route upgrade, were very welcome for those areas. But it was only £415 million and all the elements had previously been announced. Are the Government being more ambitious, particularly in looking at signific…”

“Prime Minister, given that the US President has imposed a 25% tariff on car imports, yesterday’s announcements from you and the Transport Secretary to support the roll-out of EVs were obviously welcomed by UK vehicle manufacturers. But drivers really need more incentive to switch to EVs, particularly those who do not h…”

“I hope you will look at the geographic point as well.”
