HC Deb 16 January 1996 vol 269 c488W
Mr. Cox

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment when he expects to receive the report of the inquiry into the possible fifth air terminal at Heathrow airport; and if he will make a statement. [8552]

The public inquiry into the proposed fifth terminal at Heathrow airport is currently scheduled to finish in spring 1997, after which the inspector will prepare his report on the applications before the inquiry. It is too early to say when the report will be received.
