  • Effect on the Environment of a Third Runway (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Murad Qureshi
    • Meeting date: 08 September 2015
    Murad Qureshi AM: I have to say on the noise front that I am staggered that Heathrow Airport has got away with decades of not offering the same compensation and mitigation that every other airport in Europe, including City Airport, offers to the residents even before expansion is considered. That aside, can I bring you back to air quality mitigation as you have mentioned a few times earlier? You put a lot of weight on the Marylebone Road.

They are clearly a big player in some of the things that we want to do. I am not sure for what reasons they were dropped off the four countries that make up BRIC.

    That was discussed. I am glad to hear that. The other thing, you mentioned a Times article yesterday which I came across as well. Oddly enough, the three cities they mentioned - Singapore, Dubai and Hong Kong - were three cities I have seen on my own travels in recent times. We have colonial links with them. Is it not better to have partnership agreements with cities like that, the new emerging cities, rather than friendship agreements with the Dakars and the Delhis of the world?

    OK. I have clearly suggested where I think there is scope, particularly - whatever the stage of development they are at, I certainly think, given they are exporting bio fuels in a big way.
