Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, when she plans to publish the response to the consultation on the proposed revised Airports National Policy Statement.

The draft Heathrow Expansion National Policy Statement consultation closed on 1 September. The Department received a wide range of responses, which we will carefully consider alongside the Transport Select Committee’s recommendations. We will set out our response and any next steps in due course, once that process is complete.
