Airports: South East

Question

To ask Her Majesty’s Government when they expect to make a final decision about airport expansion in the South East.

Answer

On 10 December, the Government accepted the Airports Commission’s case for expansion in the South East. We agree with the Commission’s shortlist of three options, all of which it concluded were viable. The Government will now conclude a package of further work by the summer, and will ensure that the timetable for delivering additional capacity set out by the Commission does not alter.
