Adam Afriyie – 2015 Parliamentary Question to the Department for Transport

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Adam Afriyie on 2015-10-19.

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what assessment he has made of the potential change in risk of flooding in South East England if Heathrow Airport expansion were to proceed.

Mr Robert Goodwill

The Government is currently considering the large amount of very detailed analysis contained in the Airports Commission’s final report before taking any decisions on next steps.

The Government will carefully consider all the evidence set out, including that on flood risk, when making a decision on additional runway capacity.
