To ask the Secretary of State for Transport when she expects households in wards in Putney who have not already done so to receive a copy of the consultation document, Adding Capacity at Heathrow Airport; and if she will make a statement. (183607)

[holding answer 31 January 2008]: The criterion applied in issuing copies of the Heathrow consultation summary and response form was: those living within the 57dBA contour; more specifically, those most directly affected by any development at the airport. On that basis, copies were sent to 217,346 households, of which 9,153 are in the hon. Member's constituency. If the hon. Member believes that households within her constituency meeting this criterion did not receive a copy of the summary and response form in the distribution, we will look into this and, if necessary, send out summary material to these households.

In line with Cabinet Office guidance, the consultation document and supporting materials are freely available to anyone with an interest from the Department's website. Printed copies may also be obtained via our dedicated call centre.
