The Airports Commission Report: Carbon Emissions, Air Quality and Noise

Reacting to the Government’s announcement of  its approval for Heathrow expansion, the Chair of the Environmental Audit Committee Mary Creagh MP is seeking assurances from the Government that any new airport capacity will comply with key environmental conditions.
The call follows the publication of the EAC report in November 2015, called upon the Government and Heathrow to demonstrate that Heathrow expansion can be reconciled with our climate change commitments and legal air pollution limits.
