A third runway for Heathrow Airport post-Brexit is now highly likely as a free vote on the matter was always the preferred option of the new prime minister Theresa May. Now it is both confirmed that a free vote will take place and that 74% of MPs will back expansion.
A ComRes poll on the views of MPs regarding Heathrow airport expansion has shown that two thirds of MPs across all parties will back a third runway at Heathrow. Pressure is now growing for the government to call a vote on the matter as soon as possible.
