Will the Cabinet Secretary confirm whether the Welsh Government is expecting consequential funding following the UK Government's plans for a third runway at Heathrow Airport?

Answered by Cabinet Secretary for Economy, Energy and Planning | Answered on 04/02/2025

The Welsh Government is not expecting any consequential funding in relation to the expansion of Heathrow Airport.

I understand that whilst the UK Government has announced its backing for the development of a third runway at Heathrow, the cost of the expansion, along with any associated surface transport upgrade costs, will be financed through private funding.
