The BBC says:

The Conservative Party has warned firms not to get involved in any plans for a third runway at Heathrow Airport.

The Tories warned they would stop expansion of the west London airport if they won power at the general election.

"Anyone getting involved in any contract for a third runway should be very, very careful," said shadow Transport Secretary Theresa Villiers.

How pathetic and dumb can the Tories get. They have just added millions of pounds to the cost of the expansion. So contracts will now definitely include even steeper cancellation clauses than was the case. Well perhaps the Tories are just trying to make it too expensive to go ahead (a typically vindictive academic middle class thing to do). Or perhaps Villiers is looking to do some moonlighting consulting for these companies to tell them how to be "very, very careful".
