The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether the proposed expansion of Heathrow Airport will be privately funded.

Answered by Mike Kane

The Government is clear that Heathrow expansion will be financed by the private sector.

Heathrow costs are regulated by the independent CAA, who are set up to ensure costs balance between airlines and the consumer. The specifics would need to be considered at the point proposals came forward.
