Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if her Department will make an assessment of the adequacy of Heathrow Airport's regulatory framework.

The Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) determines the specific regulatory model for Heathrow independently of Government. The CAA’s primary duty in setting the price cap at Heathrow is to protect consumers’ interests. Officials are working closely with the CAA to better understand the various positions on the right regulatory framework to facilitate expansion.
