§ Mr. PicklesTo ask the Secretary of State for Transport, Local Government and the Regions when he intends to make a statement on Heathrow terminal 5. [7468]
§ Ms KeebleThe decision on terminal 5 will be issued as soon as possible, consistent with full and careful consideration of the inquiry inspector's report. I cannot comment on any issues relating to T5 or the inspector's report while the decision is going through the relevant statutory procedures.
The Secretary of State is currently consulting on BAA's revised proposals for diverting two rivers which flow across the site (the "Twin Rivers"). We anticipate that the Twin Rivers consultation exercise will be completed by around the middle of October.
