Craig Whittaker – 2015 Parliamentary Question to the Department for Transport

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Craig Whittaker on 2015-11-30.

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what plans he has to create additional airport capacity in the north of England.

Mr Robert Goodwill

It is for individual airports to put forward proposals for capacity expansion, taking careful account of all relevant considerations, particularly economic and environmental impacts. We therefore welcome the investment airports in the north of England are already making to increase capacity and improve terminals and passenger facilities.
