Statement on Government Programme to Expand Heathrow

I am acutely aware of how many residents of Uxbridge and South Ruislip will be affected by the expansion of Heathrow, and so I want to ensure as many of my constituents as possible that I will continue to lobby against the expansion as I have done throughout my career. 

As you will be aware, I was absent during the voting on the expansion, as I was conducting a meeting with the President of Afghanistan in Kabul to promote peace in the region. Nonetheless, I have made clear my opposition since my time in government, and that is why I am not voting for the expansion, and I never will. 

In order to address the vote effectively, attached is my statement to Councillor Raymond Pudifoot, Leader of the Council for the London Borough of Hillingdon regarding my position.
