Heathrow Airport: Construction
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, how much her Department has spent on legal advice for Heathrow Airport expansion.
Answered by Keir Mather
The Department receives legal advice from the Government Legal Department under an agreed annual fee for legal services provided across the Department, rather than on a matter-by-matter basis. Where external legal advice has been required in relation to Heathrow Airport expansion, the Department has met these costs in line with standard procurement and legal spending processes.
