Airports: National Policy Statements
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, when he plans to (a) publish, (b) consult on and (c) ratify the Airports National Policy Statement.
Answered by Mike Kane
The government has invited proposals for a third runway at Heathrow to be brought forward by the summer. Once proposals have been received, the government will review the Airports National Policy Statement.
The Secretary of State will determine the scope of the review of the Airports National Policy Statement in due course and therefore, the Department cannot speculate on the scope nor the timings at this stage.
