Dept for Transport

Question: To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether the responses concerning Alconbury Airfield to the first public consultation on The Future Development of Air Transport in the UK (South East) will be considered in the second public consultation.

Answer: Mr. Djanogly: To ask the Secretary of State for Transport whether the responses concerning Alconbury airfield to the first public consultation on The Future Development of Air Transport in the UK (South East) will be considered in the second public consultation. [109738] Mr. Jamieson: All responses received so far, including those concerning Alconbury and all other options in the South East and UK will be considered, together with any responses that are submitted before the new closing date of 30 June 2003. The consultation has been extended from its original closing date of 30 November 2002; this is a continuation of the consultation launched on 23 July last year, not a separate consultation exercise. Anyone who has already responded may, if they wish, add to, replace or amend their earlier response(s). We will consider all consultation responses before making decisions in the air transport White Paper, which we aim to publish later this year.
