HC Deb 21 July 1994 vol 247 c466W
Mr. Peter Ainsworth

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will make it his policy to confine new airport development to areas currently undergoing regeneration.

Mr. Curry

Aviation policy is a matter for my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Transport. Decisions on any proposal for airport development would involve a wide range of considerations, including, where relevant, regeneration benefits.
