Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what support his Department plans to make available for the provision of new aerodromes.

The majority of airfields in the UK are privately run and owned. Like other business enterprises, potential investors and owners of new aerodromes can benefit from a range of measures that the Government has set in place to support businesses and promote growth, as well as support from regional and local government. Information on the amount of historic public investment in aerodromes is not held centrally.
