	question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what assessment has his Department made of the effect of Heathrow expansion on airport capacity in (a) the South East and (b) Stansted Airport.
	tabling member constituency	Saffron Walden
	tabling member printed	Mrs Kemi Badenoch
	uin	154797
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/06/2018 answer text <p>The Government recognises that all three schemes for expansion in the South East are projected to result in other airports experiencing lower growth in flights than they would have otherwise seen. However, while a Northwest Runway at Heathrow will help to secure the UK’s status as a global aviation hub, other airports will continue to develop their point-to-point networks. The Department’s aviation forecasts show that passenger numbers and flights at airports within the South East (excluding Heathrow) will increase by 33 per cent and 20 per cent respectively between 2016 and 2050 with expansion at Heathrow.</p><p> </p><p>London is the largest aviation origin and destination market in the world, and the forecasts show demand for this market growing further. This will continue to provide opportunities for airports around London and in the South East, including Stansted, to increase their services alongside any expansion at Heathrow over the longer term. Individual airport commercial strategies – which are not modelled – could help these airports to grow even faster and further.</p><p> </p><p>Lastly, as the Secretary of State set out in his oral statement on 05 June, any new operational runway at Heathrow is still a number of years away. This is why Government supports airports beyond Heathrow making best use of their existing runways. However, the Government recognises that the development of airports can have positive and negative effects, including on noise levels, and it considers that any proposals should be judged on their individual merits by the appropriate planning authority, taking careful account of all relevant considerations, particularly economic and environmental.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 21/06/2018 16:16:15 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman

	tabling member constituency	Saffron Walden
	tabling member printed	Mrs Kemi Badenoch
	uin	151238
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/06/2018 answer text <p>In National Grid’s 2017 Future Energy Scenarios, electric vehicles could potentially increase peak load on the electricity system by up to 10GW by 2040 under their highest impact scenario. National Grid say that this can be reduced to around 5GW by 2040 if the charging by electric vehicles is managed through smart charging.</p><p> </p><p>Therefore, the Government is taking powers as part of the Automated and Electric Vehicles Bill to mandate that all charge points sold or installed in the UK must be ‘smart’ enabled. This will enable consumers to shift charging away from the peak demand periods, benefitting the electricity system and lowering their electricity bills.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Devizes answering member printed Claire Perry question first answered 14/06/2018 15:48:38 answering member 3974 label Biography information for Claire Perry
