Heathrow expansion decision delayed - UK Politics, UK - The Independent
A Government decision on expanding the UK's biggest airport has been been postponed, it was announced today.The Government had committed itself to making an announcement on Heathrow, including a third runway at the west London airport, before the end of this year. But Transport Secretary Geoff Hoon said today that he would not make an announcement until January 2009.
No surprise and I would not expect the decision to be announced in 2009. They might save it for the election run up in 2010, depending who they want to nice/nasty to.
