Inquiry into air quality and carbon impacts of Heathrow expansion

The Environmental Audit Committee (EAC) has launched an inquiry into the impacts of the creation of a third runway at Heathrow Airport on carbon, air quality and noise.

On 1 July, the Airports Commission recommended that the government move forward with a third runway at Heathrow, rejecting options to build a new runway at Gatwick or extend an existing one at Heathrow.
