Growing Labour Opposition To Heathrow

More than 50 MPs, including 23 from Labour, have signed an Early Day Motion against a third runway at Heathrow. Ann Keen, who is the MP for Hounslow, Osterley, Gunnersbury, Brentford, Isleworth and Chiswick, did a survey of local people. 90% of respondents opposed a third runway.

Interestingly, the Tory shadow transport secretary Theresa Villiers is among the signatories of the EDM. Villiers is on record as being opposed to a second runway at Stansted as well.
