Further to my statement of 18 June, I am today updating the House that, as required by the Planning Act, the draft revised Airports National Policy Statement, now renamed the Heathrow Expansion National Policy Statement, has been laid today. A period of Parliamentary scrutiny (the ‘relevant period’) now begins from 22 June and will end on to 26 November 2026.

Next Steps

I will update the House on the outcome of the consultation and parliamentary scrutiny process in due course.
