In his speech to the Assembly Cllr. Darren Johnson AM, Leader of the Green Party Group in the London Assembly, said,“ Most Londoners will simply not understand why the full Assembly is refusing to debate airport expansion. The joint Liberal-Democrat/Labour leadership of the Assembly has been dismal and uninspiring. They have failed the Assembly and they have failed London.”
The motion was narrowly defeated by 13-12.
The Greens remain firmly opposed to any airport expansion in London and the South East.
