BUSINESS
leaders have urged the Government to approve the construction of a fifth
terminal at Heathrow.
Chairman
of pro terminal five pressure group Business for T5 Sir Christopher Benson said:
“The excellent air links at Heathrow are essential to London’s position as a
leading business location. Such factors are hugely important to international
businesses, so if terminal five is delayed much more the UK as a whole risks
losing out.”
The Government
yesterday received a report with a recommendation on whether to build the
terminal. Ministers are to study the document and are expected to make a
decision on whether to build the terminal next year.
