Heathrow third runway: Select committee urges action - BBC News
The government must stop putting off the "difficult" decision to expand Heathrow Airport rather than Gatwick, a Commons select committee has said.
The arguments over increasing aviation capacity in South East England have "changed little in a quarter of a century", said the Transport Committee. It urged ministers to end "years of political dithering" and to set out a clear timetable.
The government said it was important to get the decision right.
That last line sums up the obfuscation and dithering of the last quarter of a century.
