Heathrow Airport: Construction
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if she will meet with representatives of Heathrow Airport to discuss the potential inclusion of Heathrow Logistics Hubs as part of its expansion plans.
Answered by Mike Kane
The government supports airport expansion and has invited proposals for a third runway at Heathrow and expects proposals to be brought forward by the summer.
The specific details of the proposals for a third runway are a matter for the promoters to consider but government has been clear that any airport expansion proposals need to demonstrate that they contribute to economic growth and meet strict environmental requirements on air quality and noise pollution.
