St Helena: Airport

Question

Asked by

Lord Jones of Cheltenham
To ask Her Majesty's Government how many submissions they have received to date on the consultation regarding the proposed St Helena airport. [HL4915]

Lord Brett
The deadline for responses to the public consultation regarding the proposed St Helena airport is 31 July.

To date the Department for International Development (DfID) has received 23 submissions by e-mail and 19 submissions by post.

Many respondents are communicating directly with the consultation facilitator rather than with DfID. We will not know how many responses the facilitator has received until she presents her report.
