Sammy Wilson – 2016 Parliamentary Question to the Department for Transport

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Sammy Wilson on 2016-09-15.

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what assessment he has made of the effect of the outcome of the EU referendum on the timetable for a decision on Heathrow expansion.

Mr John Hayes

The Government is committed to delivering the important infrastructure projects the country needs. This includes delivering runway capacity to the timetable set out by the Airports Commission. The Government’s work in preparation for negotiations to leave the EU does not affect the timing of this decision.
