<p>The Government is currently consulting on a draft Airports National Policy Statement,
with the consultation closing on 25 May 2017. Following consultation and Parliamentary
scrutiny, the Government will consider all the responses received and, if it chooses
to proceed, could then lay a proposed final Airports National Policy Statement before
Parliament. It would be inappropriate for the Government to speculate on the content
of any final Airports National Policy Statement before all of the relevant procedural
steps have been taken. I would encourage the Hon Member to set out his views on the
issue of landfill clearing costs in his response to the consultation.</p>
