The Richmond MP expressed his dissatisfaction with the Davies Commission.
If the Conservatives are the party of growth, of jobs and of enterprise, as we regularly hear, then we must also be the party of airports.

But how will the Party of protest cope with power?
Heathrow or Gatwick is a false choice. We should let both grow without public subsidy, and welcome the benefits for businesses and passengers.
