The CAA has confirmed that this could include a small increase in airport charges if that was required to unlock the wider consumer benefits of expansion.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p> </p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 14/11/2018 17:33:33 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman
