Mr. Peter Ainsworth

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what estimate he has made of the cost of constructing(a) a road link to the M23 from Redhill Aerodrome and (b) a rail link from Redhill Aerodrome to Gatwick station; and what discussions he has had with Redhill Aerodrome Ventures as to who would meet the cost of these projects were approval to be given for the present proposals to expand Redhill Aerodrome. [119654]

Mr. Jamieson

[holding answer 16 June 2003]: We have made no such estimates or held discussions with Redhill Aerodrome Ltd about who might meet the costs of these projects. Chapter 17 of The Future Development of Air Transport in the United Kingdom (South East) consultation document sets out the broad surface access funding principles.
