ministers to rethink the decision to reject the track after the warning that trade will move elsewhere within the airport extended

radical options for increasing airport capacity in the Southeast, including the development of RAF Northolt on the outskirts of London, are urgently considered by the government amid growing fears that its decision to exclude a third runway at Heathrow is strangling economic growth.

sources said high-level, both David Cameron and George Osborne were convinced of the need to act - and to review the long-term policies to Heathrow - after being pressured by foreign leaders and entrepreneurs who warn that trade moves elsewhere in the EU, unless the airport is expanded.

Although the rules of the coalition agreement was a third runway at Heathrow, it would not be tolerated by the pro-green liberal democracy, many conservatives now want the party to admit that the decision was wrong and at the rear of the new track in the manifest of the next general election. In the meantime, however, Ministers instructed officials to examine a number of other options. The first is the use of RAF Northolt in Ruislip, north-west London, for business flights, to ease pressure on Heathrow, just 13 miles away. The development of Northolt - and perhaps the connection at Heathrow, with a high speed rail link - allow the government to avoid accusations of a U-turn at the third runway would be some distance from the main airport

Tim Yeo

Aa, Conservative chair of the Committee on Energy and Climate Change team, said he had "completely changed" his mind on the expansion of Heathrow and now believes that there was no other choice but to build a third runway to ensure the south of England has remained a center of aviation worldwide.

reflect the views of many members of his party, said: "We can not wait any longer, we have to go through with this, if we do not, the Chinese ... and others will take their business elsewhere No time to waste. "

Yeo, Minister in the field and John Major government a strong environmentalist, said that new EU rules came into force in January and imposed a ceiling on total emissions of flights begin or end in the EU had "changed the entire scenario ministers" and taking into account coverage to change course.

"If we can build a new track, people can no longer say emissions soar as there is a limit," he said. "I think there is a major challenge going on and not have to be." He said that plans by Boris Johnson, Mayor of London, for a new airport in the Thames Estuary, which are also being discussed by the ministers, were "too expensive and the wrong place."

Nic Ferriday of AirportWatch, which opposes the expansion of the airport, downplayed the idea of ??the RAF Northolt used. "The track had to be rethought," he said. "It is also several miles from Heathrow Airport." The complex problems of air traffic control would have to overcome. The first reports to government on the relevance of Northolt also suggest that the problems, especially with the length of the track, even if the changes have not been ruled out.

Any indication that discussions on a third runway at Heathrow could be reopened to release a scandal - especially liberal Democrats, who see it as a betrayal of the green cause. Vince Cable, the business secretary, whose area of ??Twickenham is on the Heathrow flight path, which are strongly opposed. Justine Greening, the Transport Secretary and MP for Putney, Roehampton and Southfields in south-west London, also oppose a change in policy, having opposed a third runway before the last election.

Conservatives also strongly opposed. Speaking at a Guardian "weekend off" on Saturday, Zac Goldsmith, Conservative MP for Richmond Park and North Kingston, said he would resign as a member if the party has made a U-turn.
