Question

To ask the Prime Minister, what the (a) date of establishment, (b) membership, (c) meeting schedule and (d) agenda is of the special cabinet committee on airport expansion.

I refer the hon. Member to the Written Statement made by the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, my right hon. Friend the Member for West Dorset (Mr Letwin) on 21 July 2015 announcing the publication of an updated Cabinet Committees list including a new Economic Affairs (Airports) sub-Committee, Official Report, columns 84WS-85WS.

Copies of the list are available in the Libraries of the House.

As with all Cabinet Committees, information relating to the proceedings, including when and how often it meets and which Ministers have attended, is generally not disclosed as to do so would harm the frankness and candour of internal discussion.
