Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what estimate he has made of the number of people who live within 10km of Heathrow Airport.
The Department has made no specific assessment of the number of people living within 10 km of the airport. However, the Department has carried out and published an Appraisal of Sustainability to support the development of the draft Airports National Policy Statement. This assesses the baseline population affected by Heathrow airport in different ways and with respect to a number of different impacts.
