Many of the people who opposed the Third Runway prior to the General Election are now members of the Government such as Justine Greening MP for Putney and Secretary of State for Transport and Vince Cable MP for Twickenham and the Secretary of State for Business. The fact that Mary Macleod is a PPS makes her more influential than an ordinary MP. The Conservatives and the Lib Dems both opposed the Third Runway. The Labour Party with soem honourable exceptions was mostly in favour - partially because it is heavily influenced by its biggest paymasters - the Unite and Unison trade unions. |
