Mr. McNulty

The White Paper The Future of Air Transport, published in December, recognised the benefits to the lock 1 economy resulting from the expansion of Liverpool Airport and supported its further growth to accommodate increased demand. It is now for the airport operator to bring forward specific development proposals. We will report progress on the policies and proposals set out in the White Paper in 2006.
