Automated and Electric Vehicles Bill

"My Lords, whatever the difficulties, it must be right to alter the title to include the total market. After all, running a car on water is not a mean objective. That is a very important technology that has been left out of the Bill. I think those who have argued …..."

Automated and Electric Vehicles Bill

"My Lords, again, these amendments are important, particularly when the industry is new, when it can be not just inconvenient but disastrous to turn up at a point which was on the map but which does not exist. As the industry gets older and more points are automatically there, a …..."

Written Question
London Airports
Friday 3rd November 2017

Asked by: Lord Spicer (Conservative - Life peer)

Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask Her Majesty's Government, further to the Written Statement by Lord Callanan on 24 October (HLWS196), whether they intend to publish a new critical path showing how they will address congestion at the five London airports.

Answered by Baroness Sugg

The Government has set out its preferred option for an additional runway in the South East, which will be required by 2030. However through the recent Aviation Strategy Call for Evidence the government has consulted on the proposal to support airports throughout the UK making the best use of their existing runways, subject to environmental issues being addressed and will respond in due course.

Beyond this, a new Aviation Strategy will consider whether there is a need for a new framework to be developed to allow airports to grow sustainably, and if so what that framework should look like.

Air Travel Organisers' Licensing Bill
