PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
RAF Northolt (26 October 2015)

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if he will instruct the Civil Aviation Authority to respond to the Mott Macdonald report 2012 submitted to the Ministry of Defence; and if he will make a statement.

Asked by:
Gareth Thomas (Labour)

The Mott Macdonald report was produced for the Ministry of Defence and sets out the position at RAF Northolt in 2012. The Ministry of Defence has not asked the Civil Aviation Authority to comment on the report.

The situation at Northolt has moved on since the report was published in 2012. The CAA is reviewing certain aspects of the safety of operations at the aerodrome. This review will conclude shortly and, if necessary, appropriate action could be taken in respect of civil operations.
