    Just add it to my bill.

    Taxpayers could end up subsidising the £9bn bill for Heathrow's third runway because of the "precarious" finances of the airport's operator, an MP has said.

    Hayes and Harlington MP John McDonnell was speaking amid reports on what would happen if BAA went into administration.

      The third runway will never be built anyway, so no worries.

        Everything will be fine. The government would have done proper due diligence on the Grupo Ferrovial before it allowed the BAA take over to ensure such a thing could never happen.
        How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

            So BAA are threatening to go into administration and BA want their staff to take unpaid holiday. Do we need a new runway?
