Heathrow Airport: Construction
Asked by: Baroness Kennedy of Cradley (Labour - Life peer) Wednesday 19th October 2022 Question to the Department for Transport: To ask His Majesty's Government whether they still support the construction of a third runway at Heathrow airport. Answered by Baroness Vere of Norbiton - Parliamentary Secretary (HM Treasury)
The Airports National Policy Statement (ANPS) was designated as government policy in June 2018 following a vote in the House of Commons. It sets out that there is a need to increase airport capacity in the South East of England by 2030 by constructing one new runway and that this need is best met by the Northwest runway scheme at Heathrow Airport.
The Government remains supportive of airport expansion where it can be delivered within our environmental obligations. The Government has always been clear that Heathrow expansion remains a private sector project which must meet strict criteria on air quality, noise and climate change, as well as being privately financed, affordable, and delivered in the best interest of consumers. |
