The prime minister has said he is “deeply concerned” about the closure of Heathrow Airport as a result of a power cut caused by a fire at a nearby electrical substation. Sir Keir Starmer told the BBC “there are questions” for bosses of the UK’s largest airport to answer over the 18-hour long closure on Friday, which disrupted the journeys of some 200,000 passengers. On Monday, Heathrow defended its decision to shut down following claims that it did have enough power to operate after the substation fire.
