HC Deb 12 June 2003 vol 406 c918

6.1 pm

Mr. Gareth Thomas (Harrow, West)

On behalf of almost 1,000 of my constituents, I present a petition opposing any further expansion in the use by commercial air traffic of RAF Northolt, which neighbours my constituency. My constituents are concerned that the possible increase in the current level of air traffic accruing from the shared military and commercial use of RAF Northolt would have adverse environmental consequences and social costs, namely noise and atmospheric pollution, as well as a considerable further reduction in the amenity of the local people. They ask the Secretary of State for Transport and the Secretary of State for Defence not to allow any further significant increase in the number of flights departing or landing at RAF Northolt.

To lie upon the Table.
