Boris Johnson has been asked to reconsider his opposition to a third runway at Heathrow by a council of business leaders.
The request came at the first session of his newly-created International Business Advisory Council for London, designed to help attract global companies to the capital. The Council is chaired by Sir Martin Sorrell, who said: "We talked about how a third runway was important for business".
Willie Walsh, from BA, is also on the council, along with 56 other representatives from companies in 12 countries.
