Tory MP: Government delay on Heathrow 'puts party before country'

Available for over a year

Tory MP Crispin Blunt has called on the government to make a "clear decision" on whether or not to build a third runway at London's Heathrow Airport. The Reigate MP said he did not believe the government needed more time to consider the options on airport expansion. "By putting the party before country it will become crystal clear that actually people will take a view that it will damage the Conservative Party, so I wish they hadn't done it", he said.
