No decision on Heathrow until at least October: UK minister

The decision has been delayed due to Britain's vote to leave EU

A decision on whether to expand Heathrow or another airport in the vicinity of London has been delayed until at least October following Britain's vote to leave the European Union, Transport Secretary Patrick McLoughlin told parliament on Thursday.



The Brexit vote prompted Prime Minister David Cameron, who had led efforts to keep Britain in the bloc, to resign and a new prime minister is expected to be in place by October.



"Being realistic, given recent events, I cannot now foresee an announcement (on airport capacity in southeast England) until at least October," McLoughlin said.
