answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/03/2020 answer text <p>Her Majesty’s Government recognises that airports are vital for local economies, providing domestic and global connectivity, employment opportunities, and a hub for local transport. We have been working closely with airports and airlines to encourage them to act quickly to fill routes which are vital for local communities and businesses, including those in Belfast.</p><p>A review of Regional Air Connectivity was recently announced to ensure all nations and regions of the UK have the domestic transport connections local communities rely on. Her Majesty’s Government plays no part in, and through regulations is legally prevented from intervening in, the airport slot allocation process. Whilst there is no role for Government to play in this matter, it is in the interest of UK consumers that all airport slots are used efficiently.</p> answering member constituency Rochester and Strood answering member printed Kelly Tolhurst question first answered 19/03/2020 15:21:48 answering member 4487 label Biography information for Kelly Tolhurst
