Airports: New Runways

Answer

My Lords, the four were at Heathrow, Stansted, Birmingham and Edinburgh. Since then, the airport owners of Birmingham and Edinburgh have concluded that second runways will not be needed before 2030. Birmingham International Airport is pursuing an extension to its existing runway, for which it received planning permission this month.

My Lords, I thank the Secretary of State for that Answer. Of those four new runways, how many are at existing airports and which are they? How many are at new sites and where would they be?
