Heathrow Hub responds to House of Commons Environmental Audit Committee

"The Committee is right that noise and air quality limits should be met, but wrong that expansion should be delayed. On the contrary, expansion is an opportunity to reshape Heathrow and the regulatory framework in order to tackle these important issues. They go side-by-side."

"As a matter of fact, Heathrow's third runway proposal is worse from an environmental perspective. It destroys more homes and key infrastructure than our scheme, and indeed more than Heathrow's previous third runway proposal that was rejected by Government in 2010. And our proposal can be built in phases, enabling the Government only to release new slots when noise and air quality limits are set."
