Environment Bill

Proceeding contribution from Tanmanjeet Singh Dhesi (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 20 October 2021. It occurred during Debate on bills on Environment Bill.

On tackling air pollution, does the hon. Member not agree that, to take people off road and on to rail, it is about time the Government built the western rail link to Heathrow? It would benefit people not only in my Slough constituency, but in the south-west, Wales and the west. That is the only way because if we are serious about tackling the climate crisis, rather than just talking about it—the Government committed to it in 2012, but have still not yet dug a single spade—it is about time that we moved forward on these transport infrastructure projects.
