Miliband refuses to say whether he personally backs Heathrow

Quick Summary:

Chancellor Rachel Reeves has announced the Labour government will support airport expansion plans.

As Labour leader in 2010, Miliband reversed his party's support for Heathrow expansion over concerns about the environmental impact of it.

On energy bills he said "I fear bills will keep rising" unless there was a transition to "clean home grown power we control".
