Question to the Home Office:
To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the potential economic impact of the upcoming strikes by Border Force officers at Heathrow Airport on (1) businesses, and (2) tourism.
Answered by Lord Sharpe of Epsom - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Home Office)
Border Force has made no such assessment as to the strikes’ impact on tourism and business, as this is not within Border Force’s remit. Border Force will continue to work closely with Heathrow Airport to ensure we have robust plans in place to minimise any delays if strike action goes ahead. We will deploy suitable resources to meet critical demand and support the flow of passengers and goods through our border. Border Force’s priority during industrial action, as with at any other time, is to maintain the security of the UK border and nothing will compromise this.

Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether it remains his Department's policy to support a third runway at Heathrow airport.
Answered by Anthony Browne - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Transport)
We support the expansion of UK aviation when it is consistent with our environmental obligations. Any application for an individual airport to expand would, of course, be considered on its merits, once an application has been received.
