	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/06/2018 answer text <p>All United Kingdom commercial helicopter operators require an Air Operator Certificate (AOC) issued by the Civil Aviation Authority. The requirements for the granting of an AOC are set out in legislation, and are concerned with an operator’s ability to fulfil their responsibilities for safety. This approval process is not designed to take into account the environmental effect of individual flights. It would not be possible to take the views of affected residents into account because the AOC is not based on specific flying routes. Affected people with concerns over airspace or environmental effects, can inform the CAA using the <a href="http://www.caa.co.uk/default.aspx?catid=810&amp;pagetype=90" target="_blank">Airspace Use Report (FCS 1521) form</a> which can be downloaded from its website.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 25/06/2018 11:38:59 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/06/2018 answer text <p>A Northwest Runway at Heathrow will improve the UK’s connectivity, with more frequent services to important global destinations benefitting passengers and freight-operators across the UK. While Heathrow expansion will help to secure the UK’s status as a global aviation hub, it will also see airports across the country continuing to develop their point-to-point networks.</p><p> </p><p>The Department’s forecasts show that passenger numbers and international flights at non-London airports are expected to increase by 80 per cent and 71 per cent respectively between 2016 and 2050 with a third runway at Heathrow. The Government recognises that all three expansion schemes in the South East are projected to result in regional airports experiencing lower growth in flights than they would have otherwise seen, but strong growth is still expected at non-London airports relative to today.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 25/06/2018 11:20:12 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman

Parking in a disabled space without displaying a valid Blue Badge is a ‘higher level’ parking contravention, so it is already subject to a higher level of penalty charge than ‘lower level’ contraventions.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 25/06/2018 16:04:37 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman
