Today, the UK Chancellor Rachel Reeves gave her support to expanding Heathrow Airport to include a third runway.
Reeves also backed expansions at Luton and Gatwick airports, as well as a "growth corridor" between Oxford and Cambridge, which she claimed could be "Europe’s Silicon Valley".
Other projects announced today include a major redevelopment of Old Trafford, the area around a new stadium for Manchester United, and a plan to bring Doncaster/Sheffield airport back into use and boost industry at East Midlands airport.
Adam Fleming is joined by the BBC’s political editor Chris Mason, the BBC’s chief economics correspondent Dharshini David and Policy and Analysis correspondent at BBC Verify Ben Chu.
