Liz McInnes MP
Several North West MPs, including Liz McInnes, Heywood and Middleton MP, who voted in favour of Heathrow expansion have been criticised by the Green Party.
John Knight, on behalf of the North West Green Party, said: "Any lip-service these individuals and their parties pay to air quality and the environment will now have to evaluated in the light of this vote."
Brian Candeland, North West Green Party chairman, added: "This decision is a disaster for all those who care about Britain’s role in combating catastrophic climate change. I expect no better of the Tories but it is particularly disappointing to see so many North West Labour MPs betraying future generations in this way. We need serious infrastructure investment in Britain, but that must be low-carbon, clean transport systems for the future and for the whole country, not a mega airport in West London.”
