asked Her Majesty's Government:

What targets they set for the British Airports Authority in respect of the time taken for passengers to pass through security control at each terminal of London Heathrow Airport. [HL4266]

The Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) is responsible for the economic regulation of Heathrow Airport. The current performance standard, set by the CAA, is that passengers should queue for less than 10 minutes on 95 per cent of the occasions when the queue is measured.
