Britain sets out plan for third runway at London's Heathrow
Britain is to lay out its proposals for a third runway at London Heathrow Thursday, launching a public consultation on a big infrastructure project the govt sees as key to its post-Brexit future. The govt backed a US$22b expansion of Heathrow in October to end 25 years of indecision with an ambitious plan to boost global trade links following the vote to leave the EU. A policy statement will set out what planning regulations the proposed runway will need to meet to be approved and outline why Heathrow, on the western edge of London, is the preferred option. "By backing the northwest runway at Heathrow airport and publishing our proposals, we are sending a clear signal that when we leave the EU, we are open for business," Transport secretary Chris Grayling will report. <br/>
