Extra runway 'should be built at Gatwick'
Residents in London may want to explore the benefits of oxygen therapy after a group of MPs claimed an extra runway should be built at Gatwick Airport, which could increase pollution in the city.
The House of Commons Transport Committee claims that plans to introduce a new runway to Stansted airport have not been justified by those behind it and that the proposal should be switched to Gatwick.
According to a report from MPs, adding another runway to Stansted should be supported by a high-speed train service, which could further pollute London's air and see more people require oxygen therapy.
"The government should reconsider whether the additional runway, if required, should be located at Gatwick rather than Stansted," the inquiry concluded.
Environment minister Jim Fitzpatrick recently claimed it is vital people in the UK have clean air to breathe in order to prevent illnesses, something which may encourage people to explore the benefits of oxygen therapy.
