Heathrow (Third Runway)

If ever we saw a sign that the Conservative party is not ready for government, it is in the motion that it put before us tonight. What does it offer? Delay, indecision and more consideration. Just remember—the Conservatives used to accuse us of being obsessed with reviews. What do we have from them now? We have, ““Let's have a review, let's put off the difficult decision.”” British business and the trade union movement are listening to this debate tonight, and they are asking this fundamental question: can we reconcile the needs of our economy and of people who want to travel with the environment? Putting the issue in the box marked ““Too difficult to make a decision”” will not wash.
