Corbyn doubtful he can whip MPs to oppose Heathrow expansion
Labour leader says he has not decided whether to hold free vote, with many of his MPs likely to back plans for third runway
Jeremy Corbyn has suggested it would not be easy to whip Labour MPs to vote against a third runway at Heathrow, despite his personal opposition to the major infrastructure project.
The Labour leader said he has not yet decided whether to hold a free vote, but it could be difficult to get his MPs to fall into line with his view that the proposed project would have harmful impacts in terms of pollution and noise.
