MPs have launched an inquiry into whether the UK Government’s support for airport expansion projects, including those at Heathrow and London City Airport, will jeopardise its ability to deliver legally binding climate and environmental commitments.
The cross-party Environmental Audit Committee (EAC), led by Labour MP Toby Perkins, will seek information from Ministers, environmental experts and aviation industry figures.
The Committee hopes to ascertain how the UK Government’s support for airport expansion projects, given in the name of economic growth, can possibly be compatible with its targets to reduce emissions, enhance air quality and safeguard residents from noise pollution. https://www.edie.net/mps-to-probe-how-government-will-reconcile-airport-expansion-with-environmental-legislation/?utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=edie_daily_news_alert_31-03-2025&utm_content=edie_daily_news_alert_31-03-2025+CID_b3d0d512ed8c3455c3a5fba327bd2550&utm_source=campaign%20monitor&utm_term=Read%20more
