Last year MPs backed a third runway at Heathrow Airport, however, several environmental groups are challenging that decision in the courts.

Green Party MP Caroline Lucas (Brighton Pavilion) asked if the Prime Minister would scrap the third runway given his opposition to the scheme as London mayor.

She said: “Few will forget his pledge to lie down in front of the bulldozers to stop the construction of a third runway at Heathrow Airport.

“Luckily for him, luckily for us all, he is now at the steering wheel and can turn those bulldozers around.”

Responding, Mr Johnson said: “Of course, the bulldozers are some way off but I am following with lively interest the court cases.
