Reeves hopes to welcome Heathro expansion plans

Chancellor Rachel Reeves is expected to welcome the expansion of Heathro in a declaration on Wednesday, understands the BBC.

A step to encourage the principle will mark the first stage of the application process for the third runway at the airport and will come as part of a major speech on comprehensive development plans to promote the economy.

The government cannot bias the results of a formal planning application for a specific runway scheme, and BBC understands that there will be no public funds for the project announced on Wednesday.

The declaration will be an angry preacher’s possibility – which includes the Reves Labor Party – who has opposed the third runway for decades due to environmental concerns.

In an article in Many timesPrime Minister Sir Kir Stmper said that comprehensive government schemes would “reduce obstacles in construction, clean the regulator mourning and allow a new era of British development to bloom”.

Heathrow’s declaration comes after weeks signs. Labor will return the expansion of the controversial airport.

On Sunday, Reeves told the BBC that she would not comment on “speculation” when asked if the government would support the third runwayBut said that “permanent aviation and economic development run by hand”.

Heathro has long argued that there is a need to expand to maintain it with rival airports in Europe, which handle fewer passengers with more runways.

In December, the airport boss said it needed a “clear stear” from the government by the end of 2025, so that he could take it forward.

However, even with the expected announcement on Wednesday, a third runway in Heathro can still go a long way.

The questions remain on the fact that who will fund the M25 motorway and other transport links around London. The road may need to be resumed through a tunnel below the third runway.

Another possible road is that the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) will allow Heathro to pass the costs of initial development work.

Many airlines have already expressed concern over potential costs. The CAA was one of the regulators who presented ideas to the Chancellor about promoting development at the number 11 meeting earlier this month.

The second issue is how Reeves’s own party can react to the third runway in Heathro.

The office of London Mayor Sadiq Khan told the BBC that he had a long -term opposition to the expansion of the airport around London “due to the impact on the air quality and noise.

Reaves’ speech on Wednesday will also focus on the development between Oxford and Cambridge to create “Europe’s Silicon Valley”.

The government wants a new rail link to be developed in thousands of houses and areas.

The government will also review the so -called ‘Green Book’ rules – how to evaluate policies, programs and projects that have been evaluated by the Treasury – which has been said that the previous biased infrastructure was already spent in rapid growing areas in the previous biased infrastructure. Is, mainly in the south in the south. ,

The government is aiming to approve the major new infrastructure for the entire Parliament than a fortnight.

A senior minister said that he was taking large long -term decisions ignored by the previous governments in this knowledge that “the benefits would not be obtained until after this Parliament, but they are the right long -term decisions”.

Treasury is confident that “before that there will be a spad in the well in the ground”.

A senior minister said that the important difference was that the government would showcase that when the agenda of development comes into struggle with something else, they will “take a tough decision”.

The conservatives have returned to labor development plans.

Shadow Chancellor Mail Streed said, “The biggest obstacles for growth in this country are Rhel Reeves, Kir Starr and Destroying their work.”

“In a hurry, the announcements of development were held together in the 2030s, nothing will do to help businesses to cut jobs right now.”

Liberal Democrat Treasury spokesman Daisy Cooper said: “Trying to promote growth without fixing our business relations with Europe is like driving with handbreaks.”

Lib Dames “a new UK-EU is calling for the Customs Association that will put rocket boosters under the economy”.

Reeves has earlier suggested that large projects such as Heathro need to move forward to help the UK economy grow.

However, despite the government’s words on development, the economy remains sluggish.
