Written Question
Aviation
Wednesday 10th June 2026

Asked by: Chris Hinchliff (Labour - North East Hertfordshire)

Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether her Department has had discussions with aviation industry stakeholders including (a) representatives of Heathrow Airport, (b) representatives of Aurora Group and (c) others representing the aviation industry on the Heathrow Airports National Policy Statement; and whether the Department has had discussions with civil society groups including charities or local groups representing residents.

Answered by Keir Mather - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Transport)

The Department engages with a broad range of stakeholders on Heathrow expansion and will continue to do so. Ministers and officials engage with stakeholders including (but not limited to) potential scheme promoters, local authorities, transport bodies, community groups and environmental stakeholders.

The Government’s published Statement of Approach sets out the principles that apply during any such engagement to ensure that the development of the Airports National Policy Statement (ANPS) review and any amended ANPS takes place transparently.

We expect to consult on any revisions to the ANPS this summer, providing an opportunity to further engage with stakeholders on the detail of any proposed amendments. Any amended ANPS will also be subject to parliamentary scrutiny.
