The third runway at Heathrow is an important issue for people in Northern Ireland because, as the Secretary of State has pointed out, no high-speed rail link will help domestic flights from Northern Ireland.

Will he give an assurance that any planning agreement for a third runway would contain some guarantees about flights from regional airports into Heathrow?
