Along with an expansion of Heathrow Airport, the chancellor announced the government’s backing for housing, transport and other investment in the Oxford-Cambridge corridor, which she said could become “Europe’s Silicon Valley” and add £78 billion to the UK’s economy by 2035. Rachel Reeves also declared government support for the redevelopment of the area around Manchester United’s Old Trafford stadium. Along with these investments, Reeves announced other key points such as a £65 million investment by the National Wealth Fund in expanding electric vehicle charging infrastructure. Report by Faragt.

The Government will back a third runway at Heathrow Airport as it looks to go “further and faster” on growth, the chancellor has announced. In a speech in Oxfordshire on growth, Rachel Reeves said the west London airport’s expansion is “badly needed” because “for decades its growth has been constrained”. Reeves stated that a third runway could increase potential GDP by 0.43% by 2050 and create more than 100,000 jobs. Heathrow’s plan to build a third runway received parliamentary approval in June 2018, but has been delayed by legal challenges and the coronavirus pandemic. Report by Faragt.
