The Government came under fire at the end of last year when it delayed a decision on airport expansion for at least six months, saying more work needed to be done on the environmental impacts of a third runway. That decision was widely seen as being linked to the London mayoral elections in May, where the Conservative and Labour candidates are both opposed to expanding Heathrow.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><b>Review:<\/b><\/p>\n<p>The only way to settle this cold war is to make the decision once and for all.
