The chancellor refused to be attracted to “speculation” about an upcoming announcement that is expected to make for the project, but said the decisions would be the subject of “full collective ministerial liability”.
Faced with questions from Sunday television operators about how Labor will balance their climate commitments with growth demand, Ms. Reeves said that development in sustainable aviation means that it goes hand in hand with stimulating the economy.
“Many things have changed about aviation,” she said on the BBC Laura Quensberg program.
“There are huge investments in electric planes, and also a third track will mean that instead of touring London, flights can land Heathrow.”
Asked if a message was to be expanded to the airport, Mrs. Reeves said: “You will see the plans when we present them.
“But this government had already signed the expansion of London City Airport and Stanstad Airport.
“Both decisions were again decisions that the previous government had delayed.
“We work and deliver, it will be good for investment and trade in our country, and it is also good for families who want to go on cheaper vacations as well.”
Higher Labor figures, including some of her cabinet colleagues, and Prime Minister Sir Kir Starrmer, opposed plans to expand in the past, while leaders of the aviation industry and business have always been for.
Energy Minister Ed Miliband criticized the proposals before, but last week he told PA news agency that he would not resign if the government supported a third track.
But London Mayor Sir Sadik Khan, who won a third term in 2024 on a platform to oppose the expansion of the airport in the capital, said his views “have not changed” and suggested that all plans would need to mitigate noise pollution and carbon emissions.
Speaking to Sky News Sunday Morning with Trevor Phillips, Mrs. Reeves said: “We will make messages about policies when we are ready to do so, with full collective ministerial responsibility.
“Let me be clear, this government has already signed housing projects, an infrastructure for data centers in support of artificial intelligence and the technology industry, we supported the development of wind energy on land.
“We have supported a number of developments to make our country grow again.”
The collective ministerial responsibility is the Westminster Convention, which means that all members of the cabinet must publicly support the decisions of the government, even if they personally disagree with them.
The Chancellor is expected to use a speech next week to support the third track proposals at West London Airport, as well as the expansion of Gatwick and Luton Airport.
It was facing a heavy beginning of 2025, with the costs of state loans and the value of the pounds being influenced by market turmoil, poor growth data and business leaders’ concerns for the coming year.
But after returning from a meeting of world leaders and business executives in Davos this week, Mrs. Reeves tried to infuse a little optimism into the government’s previous warnings about his challenging economic heritage.
The UK needs “more positivism” and has to “scream” from the roofs for its strengths, she told Times earlier this week.
Ms Reeves is also expected to use her speech to reveal more changes to reduce bureaucracy in planning in an attempt to boost construction projects and revive the economy.
The government is committed to stopping the “blocking people” and delivering 1.5 million new homes, as well as to provide 150 solutions for large infrastructure projects by the end of parliament.
So far, he has made 13 planning decisions and has approved nine nationally significant infrastructure projects, including airports, energy farms and residential buildings.
Environmental estimates for the construction of homes and infrastructure will be replaced by a new system, which, according to the Ministry of Finance, will save time and money to entrepreneurs.
The Planning and Infrastructure Planning Bill, which aims to remove the barriers that impede construction and to obtain faster approval of the projects will be submitted to parliament in the spring, confirmed Ms Reeves.
The campaigns expressed concern about her remarks on Sunday and their consequences for what they described as “a uniquely complex and expensive third track.”
Paul McGines, chairman of the No 3rd Runway Coalition Group, said: “If, as expected now, the chancellor announces the continuation of the expansion of the Gethic and Luton this week, then maybe her supporting words for Heathrow are not as significant as some could I think.
“The extensions of other airports in London undermine the arguments for Heathrow’s uniquely complex and expensive third track, which makes it even more risky, if not a non-investing proposal.”
