§ The Minister of State, Department of Transport (Mr. John Spellar)We have been considering the timetable for the forthcoming consultation about night restrictions at Heathrow, Gatwick and Stansted airports. The present night restrictions regime at those airports is due to end in October 2004. We have decided to consult shortly on an interim proposal to extend this regime for a further year, to October 2005. This would allow us to consider comments received in response to the question about the five yearly review cycle in the consultation paperFuture Development of Air Transport in the United Kingdom: South East (the second edition of this paper has been published today), as well as the wider policy context, before we consult on a regime to take effect from October 2005.
