Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what assessment he has made on the effect of a potential third runway at Heathrow on insurance premiums for (a) business and (b) residential properties under the proposed new flightpath.

No assessment of the effect of a potential third runway at Heathrow on insurance premiums has been carried out. As is the case at all airports, the issue of insurance is a private matter for households and businesses.
