A Northwest Runway at Heathrow will improve the UK\u2019s connectivity, with more frequent services to important global destinations benefitting passengers and freight-operators across the UK. While Heathrow expansion will help to secure the UK\u2019s status as a global aviation hub, we will also see airports across the country continuing to develop their point-to-point networks.<\/p>
<\/p>
This conclusion is supported by the analysis which shows that passenger numbers and international flights at airports outside of London are expected to increase by 80 per cent and 71 per cent respectively between 2016 and 2050 with a third runway at Heathrow.<\/p>
<\/p>
Whilst the Department has not made an assessment of the effect on the local economy in Wolverhampton and the West Midlands, these areas are expected to benefit from the improvement in regional and global connectivity, which is expected to deliver up to £74 billion worth of benefits to passengers and the wider economy.<\/p>
<\/p>
The Airports Commission found that whilst four out of London\u2019s five main airports are expected to be full within the next ten years, airports outside the South East of England, such as Birmingham, have capacity to grow by increasing utilisation of their existing runway(s).<\/p>
<\/p>
As the Secretary of State set out in his oral statement on 5 June, any new operational runway at Heathrow is still a number of years away. This is why Government supports airports beyond Heathrow making best use of their existing runways. However, we recognise that the development of airports can have positive and negative effects. We consider that any proposals should be judged on their individual merits by the relevant planning authority, taking careful account of all relevant considerations, particularly economic and environmental.<\/p>"}

Expansion at Heathrow will benefit the North, be that through the commitment to about 15 per cent of new slots being used for domestic routes, or through the thousands of new jobs and careers across the country that Heathrow has estimated will be created.<\/p>
<\/p>
The Department remains committed to the Northern Powerhouse. Between 2018/19 and 2020/21, the Department for Transport will be investing £831 per head on road and rail upgrades in the North East, North West and Yorkshire and the Humber \u2013 more than £30 more per head than in London and the South at £799. The Department for Transport continues to work closely with Transport for the North and local partners to maximise benefits for passengers, businesses and the region as a whole.<\/p>"}

We have set out a clear mission to put the UK at the forefront of the design and manufacturing of zero emission vehicles and for all new cars and vans to be effectively zero emission by 2040. We will work with industry to achieve this ambition, and share the benefits this opportunity presents, building on the Automotive Sector Deal.<\/p>
<\/p>
Our ambition is underpinned by one of the most comprehensive packages in the world to support the market for ultra low emission vehicles. We are investing nearly £1.5bn\u200e between April 2015 and March 2021, with grants available for plug in vehicles, schemes to support charge point infrastructure in homes, workplaces and on-street and R&D into cleaner vehicle technologies.<\/p>
