Prolific Economist Bridget Rosewell was invited on to Radio 4’s World Tonight on Tuesday 25th October to discuss the Government’s decision to grant a third runway at Heathrow. The long awaited decision was an important moment in Theresa May’s new government, after years of lobbying and indecision on the Heathrow and Gatwick extensions. The greenlight for Heathrow is the beginning of a year long consultation process, so there is still lots of work to be done. Bridget Rosewell from her unique position as a member of of the National Infrastructure Commission and Professor Tony Travers from LSE discuss the merits of this decision with Ritula Shah. You can listen to the discussion here (at 17.48)
