Zac Goldsmith – 2015 Parliamentary Question to the Department for Transport

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Zac Goldsmith on 2015-10-12.

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what assessment he has made of the potentially constraining effect on Heathrow airport’s growth of that airport’s future carbon emissions.

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 noise, air quality and costs, when making a decision on additional runway capacity.
