Tim Yeo MP for Suffolk

It would be interesting to know how Tim Yeo's voting record was on STN expansion. He can talk about LHR all he likes but I bet he was no advocate of STN being expanded with it being so close to its constituency. It would also be interesting to know how many shares or other interests he has in BAA. With HS1 connecting to Birmingham so rapidly in the near future, BHX can quite easily take up the slack, with such fast connections to London. BA should look at expanding at MAN and creating a secondary hub, similar to the likes of Lufthansa in Germany; spreading the wealth around the UK a little. Second runways at LGW and STN should be reconsidered as their environmental impact, and by that I mean the lives of Londoners will not be made worse that what it is already.
