HC Deb 26 March 2002 vol 382 c942W
Chris Grayling

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, Local Government and the Regions what assessment he has made of the impact of the proposed international airport in Northern France on the airports in the South East of England. [45247]

Mr. Jamieson

The South East and East of England Regional Air Services Study (SERAS) has not undertaken an assessment of the impact of the proposed airport in northern France on airports in the study region. It should be noted that the proposed French airport is a long way from London—about the same distance as Manchester.
