I regret to inform the House that the Written Answer I gave on 24 June to a Parliamentary Question (Official Report, col. WA 217), about the number of occasions that Ministers and Department for Transport officials have met BAA Ltd referred only to the period from January 2008 to June 2008.

This occurred as a result of an administration error. As soon as officials were made aware of the complete Question, they provided a correct response.

The Answer should read:

Ministers from the Department for Transport have met BAA Ltd on 14 occasions since January 2006. Department for Transport officials meet regularly with BAA representatives to discuss matters relating to air transport.
