answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/10/2020 answer text <p>The Department has not postponed the delivery of the Western Rail Access to Heathrow. The Government has always been clear that delivery of such is subject to a satisfactory business case and agreement of acceptable terms with the Heathrow Aviation industry. Discussions between the Department and Heathrow Airport Limited to agree an appropriate funding contribution were interrupted following the Court of Appeal’s judgement on the Airports National Policy Statement and the devastating impact of COVID-19, resulting in a delay. Network Rail plans to re-consult on the scheme in 2021.</p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Daventry answering member printed Chris Heaton-Harris question first answered 14/10/2020 13:51:06 answering member 3977 label Biography information for Chris Heaton-Harris
