Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon
As I have said already, we will await the report of the commission. I am mindful of the fact that the noble Lord said that after the election, an incoming Labour Government would consider the report. I am delighted to say that, as the whole House and indeed the whole country recognises, it is an incoming and new Conservative Government who will be acting on the report.
Baroness Finlay of Llandaff (CB)
Could the Minister inform the House whether there have been discussions with the National Assembly for Wales over the development of Cardiff Airport, given that its runway is large enough to take jumbos and that the engine-servicing facility at Caerphilly has been there for some time?
Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon
As I have already said, regional airports are part and parcel of the offering, but on that specific issue I will write to the noble Baroness.
