Govt backs Heathrow expansion to boost economic growth
The Government will back a third runway at Heathrow Airport as it looks to go “further and faster” on growth, the chancellor has announced.
In a speech in Oxfordshire on growth, Rachel Reeves said the west London airport’s expansion is “badly needed” because “for decades its growth has been constrained”.
Reeves stated that a third runway could increase potential GDP by 0.43% by 2050 and create more than 100,000 jobs.
Heathrow’s plan to build a third runway received parliamentary approval in June 2018, but has been delayed by legal challenges and the coronavirus pandemic.

The Supreme Court has directed the immediate removal of stray dogs from Delhi-NCR, giving the government eight weeks to arrange proper shelters. The order comes amid rising complaints over stray dog attacks and public safety concerns. Authorities have been tasked with ensuring humane relocation, adequate food, and medical care for the animals, while balancing public health and safety. Animal rights groups are expected to closely monitor the implementation of the court’s directive.

Heathrow has submitted its latest plans for a third runway at Europe’s busiest airport. The total cost, including new terminals and infrastructure, will be £49 billion pounds. The airport says expansion will create up to 40,000 new jobs and add 0.43% to the UK’s GDP by 2050. However, the plans will face fierce opposition from locals, politicians and climate campaigners.
