A coalition of large UK businesses have urged the Government to back an expansion proposal by the owners of Heathrow airport.

The bosses of companies which use the west London airport such as fashion brand Burberry, coffee chain Caffe Nero and department store Fortnum and Mason wrote to Transport Secretary Heidi Alexander in support of the plan to build a full-length, 3,500-metre third runway.
