I never said the actual "runways" would be, clearly that is nonsense.
The taxpayer was however earmarked for surrounding roads rail and tunnels but I'm clear that recent comments by ministers have indicated that the government would not be footing the bill.
Note - nothing was referenced specifically in the Autumn Spending review in the same way as HS2. Other major projects were also detailed at a lesser cost, at 6bn I would have expected this to have appeared.
That "suggested" the treasurey was indeed playing hardball although I remain sceptical.
The reference to Transport To London was incase the cost was being submerged in the general costs of transport within London!
