Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether he has made an assessment of the implications for his policies of the decision by BA to increase the minimum connection time at Heathrow Airport to 75 minutes.

The Government continues to work with ground handlers, airlines and airports to ensure they are doing all they can to minimise disruption for passengers. The aviation industry operates in the private sector therefore it is the responsibility of the sector to determine their operational plans.
