Stemming from the Chancellor’s announcement in relation to the third runway, it is evident that support for that runway is driven by misguided financial incentives, with our environment being forced to take a back seat. The Government must not discard their environmental commitments, and the Liberal Democrats will continue to hold them to account on them. The first step towards protecting our air quality is for the Government to support new clause 2. If they do not plan to get behind it, will the Minister explain why?
