Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what economic analysis she has carried out on construction of a third runway at Heathrow.

Answered by Keir Mather - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Transport)

My department has recently commenced the ANPS review. As there have been significant changes since the ANPS was designated in 2018 the review is being undertaken to reflect changes in legislation, policy and data and to ensure any proposed scheme meets the Government’s four tests. One of these tests is that it contributes to economic growth across the country, as such economic analysis will form part of the ANPS review.

The currently published economic analysis undertaken as part of the designation of the ANPS in 2018 can be found in the Updated Appraisal Report https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/airport-expansion-updated-cost-and-benefits-appraisal.
