UK Chancellor Rachel Reeves has confirmed that the government is officially backing plans for a third runway at Heathrow Airport.
Reeves said the runway is “badly needed’ and could create 100,000 jobs at the London airport.
The plans received parliamentary approval in June 2018, but have been stuck in limbo after legal challenges ever since.
Reeves invited Heathrow to submit plans to expand the airport, but promised the government would only sign them off if "in line with legal environmental and climate objectives".
