Answer

I am totally opposed to expanding Heathrow, which would lead to increased traffic congestion and pollution in London.

And as we get more evidence of the role of aviation in contributing towards catastrophic climate change it's obvious that Expanding Heathrow would wreck our attempts to cut carbon emissions.

That is why I am also against Boris Johnson’s plans for a new airport in the Thames Gateway – which he described as his “big idea” for London.
