Ruth Cadbury MP/Rt Hon Chris Grayling MP

Ruth Cadbury MP: What steps he plans to take to reduce a potential increase in highway vehicle trips resulting from a third runway at Heathrow airport.(908479)

Rt Hon Chris Grayling MP: As the hon. Lady will be aware, the airports national policy statement requires 50% of passengers to use public transport by 2030, rising to 55% by 2040. It also requires 25% fewer staff car trips to work by 2030, and 50% fewer by 2040. In addition, I expect Heathrow to meet its public pledge of no greater airport-related road traffic.
