§ Lord Marlesfordasked Her Majesty's Government:
When they received the findings of the public inquiry into the London International Freight Exchange at Colnbrook; and when they expect to publish the report. [HL4293]
§ The Minister of State, Department for Transport, Local Government and the Regions (Lord Falconer of Thoroton)The Government in May 2001 received the inspector's report of the public inquiry into the London International Freight Exchange (LIFE). A decision was delayed pending the outcome of the Heathrow Terminal 5 inquiry and the need to refer back to all the parties on any potential implications of this decision on the nearby LIFE proposals. If we are able to conclude the reference back process by the end of May, a decision and publication of the report is expected to be in the summer.
