Question to the Northern Ireland Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, what discussions she has had with the Secretary of State for Transport about the implications of the Davies Report on the UK's airport strategy for Northern Ireland; and if she will make a statement.

I meet regularly with Cabinet Ministers to discuss a range of issues.

As the Secretary of State for Transport has said on a number of occasions, the Government will now carefully consider all of the evidence in the Airports Commission’s Final Report before making a decision on the way forward. The Government will not therefore be commenting on the Airports Commission’s recommendations until it has had time to examine the evidence. However, the Government recognises the need to make a decision as soon as we can, after considering all relevant matters.
