Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon
All I will say to my noble friend is that, as I have said already, I would have a short ministerial career if I were to speculate on such things.
Lord Bradshaw (LD)
Will the Government give an undertaking that when the decision about which airport is chosen is made and publicised, the effects on air quality and surface access will be covered in the same decision?
Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon
As the noble Lord will know, the issue of surface access has already been addressed. At Gatwick, for example, we have seen investment in a new station. He also raised the issue of air quality. That is very much part and parcel of the reporting of the Davies commission, and it will indeed form part of the Government’s response.
