	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/10/2014 answer text <p>The Government has not made an assessment of the economic effects on Northern Ireland or the UK of the cost of air fares to and from Northern Ireland. However, we said in last year’s Aviation Policy Framework that the aviation sector’s economic output to the whole UK economy in 2011 was approximately £18 billion, and that it employs around 220,000 workers directly and supports many more indirectly. We recognise that airports across the UK play an important role in securing connectivity for local populations and their contribution to local, regional and national economies.</p> answering member constituency Scarborough and Whitby answering member printed Mr Robert Goodwill question first answered 20/10/2014 16:11:18 answering member 1562 label Biography information for Sir Robert Goodwill
