Mr McLoughlin
The answer to the hon. Lady’s question is that we will take those things into consideration in reaching our conclusions.
Julian Sturdy (York Outer) (Con)
I hope that my right hon. Friend, who has been on his feet for nearly an hour and has listened to Members from right across the House, understands that London’s airport capacity not only affects the south-east but the rest of the country, so may I sing the praises of Leeds Bradford airport? A third runway at Heathrow would more than double demand for travel between Leeds and London in the next five years, boosting Yorkshire’s access to emerging markets, and we must not put that at risk.
