Commons ChamberMy hon. Friend makes excellent points about the Golborne spur and Manchester airport. We will certainly be looking at both issues.
Key to cutting carbon emissions and tackling climate change is cutting domestic flights and moving people on to our railways. That is why the HS2 announcement is to be welcomed and building a third runway at Heathrow is an act of environmental vandalism. Will the Prime Minister now prove his credentials on climate change, make good on his promise of lying down in front of the bulldozers, or—far more simply—just cancel the third runway?
I see no bulldozers at present, nor any immediate prospect of them arriving.
