John Denham is actually in favour of Heathrow expansion

I’m the first to point out other’s mistakes. So I’m happy to print that John Denham, innovations secretary, is in favour of the third runway at Heathrow - contrary to a report I did on ft.com yesterday. Apparently he has no concerns whatsoever about the scheme and its impact on climate change etc.

That still leaves a substantial number of cabinet ministers with forebodings about the project, given its likely impact on greenhouse gas emissions (and local noise and pollution).
