answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/07/2014 answer text <p> </p><p>When construction started at the airport site there were three known mole spider communities within the Airport Development Area. One community lost 0.1% of its habitat, one community’s habitat remained untouched and the final community lost 90% of its habitat. Mitigation measures were implemented to reduce the effects of the losses on this last community. This included the creation of similar habitat where subsequent monitoring shows that the mole spider has successfully migrated into this and adjacent areas.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency New Forest West answering member printed Mr Desmond Swayne question first answered 22/07/2014 16:55:17 answering member 55 label Biography information for Sir Desmond Swayne
