The below Parliamentary question was asked by Richard Burden on 2016-10-17.

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, when he plans to make an announcement on runway expansion in the South East.

Mr John Hayes

The case for aviation expansion is clear – but it’s vitally important we get the decision right so that it will benefit generations to come. As well as progressing the package of further work announced previously, the government is considering the Commission’s evidence before reaching a view on its preferred scheme this month.
