HC Deb 15 October 2002 vol 390 c723W
Mr. Djanogly

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport if the proposals concerning Alconbury Airfield set out in the national consultation, the Future Development of Air Transport in the United Kingdom: South East, will be capable of being progressed in the event of him determining in favour of the planning application of ADL concerning the Alconbury Airfield. [74226]

Mr. Jamieson

The Future Development of Air Transport in the United Kingdom (South East) main consultation document is seeking views on a range of options, one of which is a small-scale airport development at Alconbury. Responses to this consultation will inform Minister's decisions on the policies to be published in the air transport White Paper.

It is inappropriate to comment on any planning appeal ahead of the Inspector's report and subsequent decisions.
