answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/07/2018 answer text <p>Maintaining and enhancing domestic connectivity to Northern Ireland will be one of the key benefits of the expansion at Heathrow. It will ensure increased frequency and greater competition for existing domestic routes, and allow new routes to be served.</p><p> </p><p>The Airports National Policy Statement sets out a clear expectation that expansion should deliver at least six new routes by 2030. This could include Belfast International. The Secretary of State for Transport has also set out a clear ambition for about 15 per cent of slots to be made available from a new runway to be used for domestic routes.</p><p> </p><p>If new capacity, coupled with the commercial incentives offered by Heathrow, does not deliver Government’s expectations, and links are insufficient, then the Secretary of State for Transport has committed to impose Public Service Obligations to support additional domestic connections.</p><p> </p><p>Further detail on the Government’s approach to Public Service Obligations will be set out in the Aviation Strategy Green Paper towards the end of this year.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 10/07/2018 14:39:49 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman
