"Back Heathrow" campaign attacked in Commons

Fun and games in the House this week during a backbench debate on, among other topics, Aviation Strategy.

Local Heathrow MPs slated the campaign as "a con" on the grounds that it's funded by the airport (though I thought that was common knowledge) and, more seriously, that it allegedly represents itself as "the voice of the silent majority of west London residents in favour of Heathrow expansion" and seeks to portray the widespread support for the continuing existence of Heathrow as equating to a vote for R3.
