00:00One of the concerns that we had with the second runway was not just concerns around noise
00:04pollution, not just concerns on whether the runway would lead to the climate change obligations
00:10being breached, apart for a second the costs of tunnelling M25, re-routing the A4, Southern
00:15Rail, Elizabeth Line and the Piccadilly Line.
00:18One of the things Heathrow are trying to do is to take advantage of air quality improvements
00:24in relation to the impact of Runway 3.
00:27It's not fair to do that because they can't benefit from our policies in relation to the
00:32arguments for the third runway.
00:34There are still air pollution hotspots in that part of London, those will only get worse
00:40if there's a new runway at Heathrow.
