Aviation's important role in supporting business and jobs.

Michael Connarty: To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what discussions she has had with representatives of (a) business and (b) aviation groups on aviation's role in supporting business.

Mrs Villiers: The Secretary of State for Transport, my right hon. Friend the Member for Putney (Justine Greening), and I have engaged with business and aviation representatives on a range of aviation issues. The Government want to see a successful aviation sector which facilitates economic growth and addresses its environmental impacts. We are committed to issuing a Sustainable Framework for UK Aviation for public consultation in spring 2012.
