Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, if he will instruct the Infrastructure and Projects Authority to reproduce Table 7.1 of the Final Report of the Airports Commission, published in July 2015, using the Commission's (a) global growth, (b) relative decline of Europe, (c) low-cost is king and (d) global fragmentation scenarios.

The Infrastructure and Projects Authority has no plans to produce further analysis on the identification and evaluation of how any need for additional capacity airport should be met.

In October, the Department for Transport published a range of analyses to be read alongside the Airports Commission Final Report as part of the Government’s announcement of its preferred scheme for new runway capacity in the South East.

The Government will now lay a draft National Policy Statement for consultation in the New Year, which will be accompanied by an Appraisal of Sustainability that examines the economic, environmental and social impacts of the preferred scheme and reasonable alternatives.
