Heathrow's third runway can be built in 10 years, Reeves says

Quick Summary:

The chancellor says she wants to see planes start using the new runway in the next decade.

The Green Party has called Heathrow's expansion the "definition of irresponsible", with the party's co-leader, Adrian Ramsay, saying it was a "fantasy" that the projects could be done without environmental damage.

Reeves told the BBC she wanted to see "spades in the ground" in the current Parliament and planes to start using the runway by 2035.
