Labour MP Rob Marris says he does not "share the cosy consensus on airport expansion".
He says claims that building a new runway would enable the UK to reduce carbon emissions are a "joke", adding: "We should not be in the business of encouraging people to fly."

DUP MP Sammy Wilson welcomes the Heathrow decision but calls for slots at Heathrow for flights to and from Northern Ireland airports to be protected.
He also asks if there are any "Barnett consequentials" - a reference to the formula that would mean more money in public spending for Northern Ireland as a result of increased spending in England.
The transport secretary says Heathrow is a private sector project so there will be no more public money for Northern Ireland.
UKIP's Bill Etheridge tells the BBC's Victoria Derbyshire why he is backing current deputy leader Paul Nuttall in the leadership race.

He says that hundreds of his constituents face having their homes bulldozed and asks if the government will have "an open mind to changing its decision" as consultation progresses.

"Hallelujah, a decision has been made," says Labour MP Caroline Flint, suggesting Chris Grayling should be "in line for a minister of the year award".
However, she says the £15bn cost of the London rail project Crossrail is nine times the "combined expenditure for rail projects for Yorkshire and the Humber, the north east and the north west".
She calls for discussions on improved transport links to regional airports.

London Mayor Sadiq Khan says the government's decision to approve a third runway at Heathrow is "wrong for London and for Britain".
Mr Khan, who was elected mayor on a platform of opposing a new runway at Heathrow, says "the air in London is a killer" and he will continue to "challenge the government's decision".
He would have chosen Gatwick.

Conservative MP Zac Goldsmith says the decision to expand Heathrow "is not only wrong, it's doomed".
The MP for Richmond Park in south west London says one million people "will directly suffer because of the environmental harm this project unavoidably produces".
He predicts that the project will be subject to so much legal delay that it will not be delivered and will become a "millstone" around the government's neck.
Mr Goldsmith, who is set to resign and force a by-election in his constituency in protest, adds that the Heathrow decision will be a "constant source of anger and betrayal".
Transport Secretary Chris Grayling tells Mr Goldsmith he respects "the sincerity of the views that he holds" but adds: "I'm doing what I believe is right."

SNP transport spokesman Drew Hendry welcomes the decision to expand Heathrow.
He accuses the government of "world-leading prevarication" and also criticises "a lack of a vote in this House for over a year", which will not give businesses certainty.
He calls on the UK government to co-operate with the Scottish government.
Chris Grayling welcomes the SNP's support for expansion but says there needs to be a vote on a policy document.
"This is the law", he says, and the SNP cannot ask the government to go against legislation. He adds that a third runway will benefit "the whole United Kingdom".

Chris Grayling says again that there will be "a full and proper consultation" on Heathrow expansion.
He adds that Crossrail and other transport projects will improve connections to London airports.
He argues that Heathrow can be expanded while meeting the UK's climate change obligations and airlines are working on more efficient fuels.
There must also be "binding provision" for links to the rest of the country, he adds.
The transport secretary also says Heathrow has committed to using UK steel in the expansion project.

Shadow transport secretary Andy McDonald says the Heathrow decision was "widely leaked" before Chris Grayling's statement, which he calls "unacceptable".
He says Labour recognises the need for airport expansion in the south east of England and welcomes that a decision has been made.
However, he also calls for the National Infrastructure Commission "to examine road and rail needs of airports outside the south east" and also calls for "better connectivity" to Stansted and Luton airports.
Mr McDonald also calls for more action on emissions and noise in the Heathrow area.
He suggests delays have been caused by cabinet splits and Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson - who opposed a third runway when mayor of London - "threatening to throw himself under the bulldozers".
Caroline Lucas, the Green Party's joint leader, welcomes Zac Goldsmith's resignation.

Many MPs scoff noisily when Chris Grayling denies that the decision on Heathrow has been unnecessarily slowed down.
He says a consultation on the proposals will be led by former judge Sir Jeremy Sullivan.
Mr Grayling says the current proposal for a third runway is different to that proposed by the Labour government in 2009 - but does "much more to mitigate" environmental risks.

Chris Grayling says Gatwick Airport "remains a key part of our transport infrastructure".
He insists that the government is not willing to expand Heathrow "at any cost to local people, to passengers and to industry".
Planning permission will not be granted if Heathrow's plans do not conform to the UK's obligations on air quality, while the transport secretary says a "six and a half hour ban on sheduled flights each night" will address concerns about noise.
There will be "£2.6bn of compensation" for local communities, including offering above market value for homes which will need to be demolished and noise insulation for schools.
The MP for Hayes and Harlington, John McDonnell, says the decision means 8-10,000 will have to leave their homes.
