Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if he will make an assessment of the implications for his policies of Pricewaterhouse Coopers' final report on the closure of Manston Airport; and if he will make a statement.

The Coalition Government appointed consultants PriceWaterhouse Coopers in March to undertake an independent review of the process on decisions about the future of Manston Airport. PriceWaterhouse Coopers’ report is being finalised and it would not be appropriate at this stage to pre-empt what its findings will be.
