Adam Afriyie – 2015 Parliamentary Question to the Department for Transport
The below Parliamentary question was asked by Adam Afriyie on 2015-09-16.
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether his Department is considering a ban on all night flights at Heathrow Airport.
Mr Robert Goodwill
The Airports Commission’s final report recommended noise mitigation options such as a ban on night flights, in the event of a decision to expand Heathrow.
The Government’s position on airports capacity has not changed since the Airports Commission published their final report on 1 July 2015. Government is still reviewing all of the evidence before coming to any decisions.
The Prime Minister has said a decision will be made by the end of the year.
