Speeches by Cadbury.

“Efficiently and correctly, but also transparently, and I hope all local authorities do fully, properly and accessibly account for their spending to their residents.”

“My hon. Friend and fellow Transport Committee member is absolutely right. The changes that this Government are making will be felt across the country and in all types of cities and regions. To return to the specifics of the £15 billion for city region sustainable transport settlements and local transport grants, which …”

“I do not know the detail of the proposals of which the hon. Member speaks, but I am well aware that there are bottlenecks on our road systems. This has to be looked at carefully. I learned a lesson about increasing road capacity many years ago when I was a planning student, and of course I remember the widening and fur…”

“I will do what I omitted to do at the start of the debate and thank the Backbench Business Committee for awarding us the opportunity for this debate. I also thank all hon. Members who contributed to it. I was thinking about the themes of the debate, and the most common issue, mentioned by hon. Members from across the c…”

“The hon. Member asks a good question and the answer is that it is a mixture. It is the philosophy of devolution that is important because mayoral combined authorities in particular can deliver in ways that will be different according to their specific priorities and needs. There has been a potential challenge to the De…”

“I welcome the intervention from my hon. Friend and constituency neighbour. As a London MP, I know that stability in transport provision in London will be of huge benefit to my constituents, Londoners, visitors and commuters to London. We did not get everything we wanted in the spending review—in our case, the west Lond…”

“Whether they are walking or cycling, riding on buses, trams or trains, or planes, transport plays a huge role in the daily lives of our constituents, and for the businesses and public services on which we all depend. I welcome the fact that the Government are investing properly in transport, particularly local transpor…”

“Mr Gorman, you are projecting growth in passenger demand for flights from Heathrow. Who are these people? Where are they starting from? What journeys are they going on?”

“Would you also tie that into some kind of regional growth strategy? The previous Government called it levelling up.”

“The Transport Committee is about to look at the maritime policy statement, which is a national policy looking at maritime all around UK waters. For some reason—this is historic—the airports national policy statement only applies to Heathrow. Is that fair? Does it make sense to have a national aviation strategy looking …”

“You have answered some of my questions. On this issue of regionality, overall across the UK, there is something like 500 million additional passenger capacity being wanted by various airports, a majority, but not all of them, in London and the south-east. Notwithstanding the fact that each airport is a separate private…”

“Given that, if Dr Chapman is right, most of the flying is UK-based tourists going abroad, not everyone wants to come to near London to go to a high-volume airport in Spain, Greece or whatever.”

“The Transport Committee is about to look at the maritime policy statement, which is a national policy looking at maritime all around UK waters. For some reason—this is historic—the airports national policy statement only applies to Heathrow. Is that fair? Does it make sense to have a national aviation strategy looking …”

“Mr Gorman, you are projecting growth in passenger demand for flights from Heathrow. Who are these people? Where are they starting from? What journeys are they going on?”

“Is that just for the UK or elsewhere?”

“Is some of the growth made up of leisure passengers coming from elsewhere in the UK by train, plane or automobile to Heathrow to fly on holiday? Is that an element of your passengers and therefore your projected passenger growth?”

“What are your projections to justify your third runway?”

“Heathrow is my local airport. I have never not found a destination that I wanted to go to on holiday from my local airport, but there are an awful lot of people who join me on the flight who have could have flown out from a nearer airport, whether it be Manchester, Newcastle or Glasgow or wherever. I am just trying to …”

“Would you also tie that into some kind of regional growth strategy? The previous Government called it levelling up.”

“They would not fly. They could come by train.”
