We announced in the Queen's Speech in May 2010, the Government's intention to reform the framework for the economic regulation of airports to benefit passengers and to drive investment in better airport services. Government are looking to introduce legislation as soon as parliamentary time allows.
We have no plans to include in the Bill measures relating to blight, compensation and compulsory purchase orders in respect of airport development schemes.
