Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether his Department has made an assessment of how long the relocation of Lakeside Energy from Waste will take in the event of a third runway being constructed at Heathrow Airport.

The Government has not undertaken a separate assessment of how long it would take to relocate the plant because relocation is not necessary from a statutory or policy perspective. However if relocation was to take place, the Airports Commission estimated that the process may take five years.
