§ Mr. Peter Lilley (Hitchin and Harpenden)I am proud to present a petition from 6,000 residents of Hitchin and Harpenden who believe that the Government's plans to expand Luton airport are unfair, because they assume that a new long runway will be built there, whereas plans to expand all other airports are treated as options, and because the site and infrastructure are unsuitable for an airport the size of Gatwick.
The petition states that the Petitioners therefore request that the House of Commons oppose
the proposals for Luton airport as set out in the Government's consultation document.
And the Petitioners remain, etc.
§ To lie upon the Table.
