Parliamentary Search

Written statement made by Heidi Alexander (Labour) on Monday, 22 June 2026 in the House of Commons, on behalf of the Department for Transport.

Draft Heathrow Expansion National Policy Statement relevant period

Further to my statement of 18 June, I am today updating the House that, as required by the Planning Act, the draft revised Airports National Policy Statement, now renamed the Heathrow Expansion National Policy Statement, has been laid today. A period of Parliamentary scrutiny (the ‘relevant period’) now begins from 22 June and will end on to 26 November 2026.

Next Steps

I will update the House on the outcome of the consultation and parliamentary scrutiny process in due course.
