MP calls for Cameron action on third runway for Heathrow
Tory MP has urged Prime Minister David Cameron to decide whether he is a "man or a mouse" over the issue of a third runway at Heathrow Airport.
Writing in the Daily Telegraph, Tim Yeo, who backs expansion, urged him to act or risk "presiding over a dignified slide towards insignificance".
But Transport Secretary Justine Greening said there was a "political consensus" against a new runway.
The BBC's political correspondent Iain Watson says the government risks looking like there is a "policy vacuum" on the issue.
