Union anger over government delay on third runway
UNIONS lambasted the government yesterday over its “overtly political” deferral of a decision on Heathrow’s hugely controversial expansion.
Transport Secretary Patrick McLoughlin said he “hoped” that the government would be in a position to choose between the options at Heathrow and Gatwick airports by next summer.
The announcement of the postponement was welcomed by environmental groups and local campaigners.
