MPs approve Heathrow expansion plans

The House of Commons voted overwhelmingly for Heathrow Airport expansion last night, after Jeremy Corbyn gave Labour MPs a free vote, while the Tories were whipped in favour of the third runway.

The proposal passed by 415 votes to 119, with a majority of 296. Although the Labour Party said the government’s plans failed the four tests set by the Opposition, most Labour MPs voted in favour, with 119 for and 94 against.

Eight Tories rebelled, including London constituency MPs Justine Greening, Theresa Villiers, Zac Goldsmith, Bob Blackman, Matthew Offord and Greg Hands. It is thought that any Conservative looking to run for London mayoral candidacy will have voted against.

Boris Johnson and Philip Hammond, both of whom have opposed a third runway in the past, were absent. Johnson’s CLP, Uxbridge Labour, went looking for their MP in Westminster but unfortunately couldn’t find him on the parliamentary estate, the Foreign Office or Downing Street.
