Speaking in the House of Lords on 3 February 2025

Debate

Airport Expansion

Contribution

My Lords, the U-turn announced by the Chancellor in support of airport expansion across the south-east is astonishing.

Does he agree that far more investment in regional transport infrastructure would be a more sustainable way to secure economic growth across the country?
