Stansted Airport second runway inquiry kicked into long grass

In a letter sent to interested parties, Transport Secretary John Denham announced that the inquiry into BAA's application for a second runway at Stansted Airport will not take place until after the general election.
 
He also asked BAA to 're-visit' its application, as nearly two years have passed since the application was submitted, and to advise the Government as to its future intentions.
