HC Deb 25 November 2002 vol 395 c71W
Mr. Lilley

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what assessment has been made of the cost of(a) a bypass round Hitchin and (b) widening the Ml in evaluating the case for a new long runway at Luton airport. [80712]

Mr. Spellar

"The Future Development of Air Transport in the United Kingdom: South East" main consultation document is seeking views on a range of options, two of which are for development of the single runway at Luton airport.

Chapter 10 of the SERAS Stage Two Appraisal Findings report sets out the estimated costs of the surface access enhancements associated with the Luton airport runway options. Copies of this report have been placed in the Libraries of the House.
