High Court ruling on AQUIND: Portsmouth MP responds

Responding to the High Court’s ruling on AQUIND today (Tuesday 24 January 2023) Stephen Morgan, Member of Parliament for Portsmouth South, said:

“Today’s news will be a bitter blow to Portsmouth people.

AQUIND’s desperate attempt to re-run the argument through the High Court doesn’t change the facts, and it shouldn’t change the outcome.

I’ve been clear from the outset that this project would bring untold disruption to our daily lives and natural environment, with no clear benefits. Meanwhile, the company directors’ cosy relationships with government ministers continue to raise suspicions.

My record of action working with community campaigners against AQUIND speaks for itself. I will continue to do everything in my power to ensure this project is stopped once and for all”.
