MPs vote in favour of expanding Heathrow Airport

MPS have voted in favour of building a new runway at Heathrow Airport, paving the way for the airport's expansion after decades of delays and policy U-turns.

Lawmakers voted 415 to 119 to support the expansion, a decision that has long divided parliament regardless of party lines, with some opposed to threat of extra noise and air pollution in London, particularly its western regions.
