House of Lords written question – answered at on 26 October 2011.
To ask Her Majesty's Government what discussions they have had with representatives of the Government of China, Chinese airlines, and the deputy administrator of the Civil Administration of China about the expansion of runway provision in south east England; and what was their response.
Government officials have discussed runway provision, as a factor contributing to the availability of landing slots at Heathrow, with the Chinese Civil Aviation Authority and Chinese airlines on several occasions. Chinese officials have made representations calling for additional landing provision at Heathrow in order to enable direct flights. We have not received representations on runway expansion specifically, either at Heathrow or elsewhere in the UK.
