HC Deb 12 July 1994 vol 246 cc578-9W
Mr. Alfred Morris

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what role his Department has had in negotiations between Manchester airport and the Highways Agency; when he expects the negotiations will be concluded; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Key

I have kept in close touch with with the negotiations between Manchester Airport plc, the Highways Agency and officials of the Government Office for the North-West over the provision of road access to Manchester airport if consent is given for the construction of a second runway. These discussions continue.
