<p>We do not expect there to be Barnett consequential payments arising from the third
runway itself at Heathrow Airport, because the scheme is privately financed.</p><p>
</p><p>Heathrow Airport Ltd has also pledged to meet the costs of any surface access
proposals that are essential to deliver airport expansion. Where projects have wider
public benefits, the Government will consider the need for additional public funding
on a case by case basis in line with the Aviation Policy Framework. For any additional
UK Government spending the Barnett formula will be applied in the usual way at the
appropriate time.</p>
