I am grateful to the Minister for his answer. Improving road connections to the airport is all very well, but, given the Government's stated commitment to a high-speed rail network and the desire of the airport to become carbon-neutral by 2015, what additional resources can the Government make available to local councils to ensure a reduction in carbon emissions and congestion resulting from airport traffic?
