    Tom Thackray, CBI Infrastructure and Energy Director, has reacted to the news earlier that campaigners have lost a High Court challenge against the government's decision to approve plans for a third runway at London's Heathrow airport.

    “This clear ruling is another important step towards bringing fifty years of indecision and delay on expanding Heathrow to a welcome close. Firms know we can’t wait any longer for the growth in trade we need to see if the UK is to remain a globally competitive economy.

    “As Heathrow’s plans show, expansion can - and must - be delivered in a way that benefits our economy and protects our environment as we deliver our ambitious climate change targets".

    An investigation has begun after a defendant doused himself with acid as he was being sentenced in court.

    Marc Marshall, 54, was in the dock of Inner London Crown Court after being jailed for fraud when he poured a noxious substance onto his face.

    He is in a critical condition in hospital and a female custody officer who was guarding him in the dock was also treated.

    The Courts Service said it was "deeply concerned" about Monday's incident.

    The case is likely to raise searching questions about security in court buildings and how the liquid, which has not yet been identified, was apparently taken into the dock.
