Andy Slaughter – 2016 Parliamentary Question to the Department for Transport

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Andy Slaughter on 2016-07-21.

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether it is the Government’s policy that the airport that is awarded an extra runway must meet the costs of any surface access works required by that expansion.

Mr John Hayes

The government has been clear that we expect the promoter of any airport expansion scheme to meet the full cost of any surface access schemes that are required as a direct result of airport expansion and from which they will directly benefit.
