Sadiq Khan has said he would favour second runway at Gatwick

Mayor of London Sadiq Khan has said he will join legal action brought by local councils against Heathrow Airport expansion if MPs vote in favour of a third runway next week.

During mayor’s question time this morning, Khan reaffirmed his opposition to government’s decision to back Heathrow expansion.

Khan said: “While I believe in a better Heathrow, I do not believe a bigger Heathrow is the right answer for London and I remain committed to opposing such a short-sighted decision. There are no plans on how to deal with the valid concerns about Heathrow expansion.
