The UK\u2019s airports are either owned and operated by commercial private sector companies, or are public/private partnerships which operate commercially. It is for airports\u2019 owners and operators to make the business decisions to invest in strategies to develop their capacity. Airports that wish to invest in new infrastructure will need to submit applications to the relevant planning authority for consideration.<\/p>
<\/p>
The Government is also developing a new, long-term Aviation Strategy to 2050 and beyond which aims to achieve a safe, secure and sustainable aviation sector that meets the needs of consumers and of a global, outward-looking Britain.<\/p>

The Department is not yet able to give a final figure for the costs of the repatriation operation as we are awaiting invoices from third parties. In line with the usual transparency guidelines on Government financial reporting, the final expenditure will be made clear in the annual accounts for the Department, the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) and the Air Travel Trust (ATT), which should be published in June 2018.<\/p>
<\/p>
At this stage, the current forecasts suggest that the total cost of the repatriation operation remains broadly in line with the original estimate of around £60m.<\/p>
<\/p>
The Department is focused on making sure that there is clear burden sharing of the repatriation operation, and is seeking to recover costs of the operation from third parties. This is a continuing process and a final position on cost recovery is unlikely to be known until the completion of the administrative process; this may take several months. The Department will in due course be able to report back with more detail.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/3991", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Jesse Norman"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Hereford and South Herefordshire"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Jesse Norman"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2018-04-23", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "groupedQuestionUIN" : [{"_value" : "135317"} , {"_value" : "135319"} , {"_value" : "135321"} ], "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2018-04-23T13:44:10.167Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "27"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Transport"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Transport"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2018-04-13", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Monarch Airlines: Insolvency"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what the cost to the public purse of repatriating UK citizens was after the collapse of Monarch airlines.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4682", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Luke Pollard"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Plymouth, Sutton and Devonport"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Luke Pollard"} ], "uin" : "135316"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/874639", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department for Transport"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/874639/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

The Department does not hold this information as we do not collect data about un-adopted roads. A local highway authority may adopt a road if it has been built to the required standard. It will then become maintainable at the public\u2019s expense. An authority will not, however, adopt a road that does not meet the required standard. Some developers do not seek adoption, and some residents will prefer to keep the road as private.<\/p>
