question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what plans he has to allocate funds to improve public transport access to Newquay airport.
tabling member constituency	Middlesbrough
tabling member printed	Andy McDonald
uin	239999
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/04/2019 answer text <p>The Government’s Aviation Strategy 2050 consultation document, launched in December 2018, recognises airports as important multi-modal transport hubs. The provision and funding of surface access infrastructure and services to airports are primarily the responsibility of the airport operator, but where there are significant non-airport user benefits from changes and enhancements to the infrastructure and services there may be a case for support from Government.</p><p>A combined process for investment planning which could include further improvements for access to Newquay airport is currently under way. Sub-national Transport Bodies (STB) or regional groupings are responsible for working with local partners, including local authorities and MPs, to make the case for funding particular improvements as part of the Major Road Network or Large Local Majors programme. The Department expects that STBs will submit their prioritised schemes for consideration by July 2019.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 09/04/2019 14:24:43 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman
