Mr. Vincent Harrison:

Simply put, last summer a large quantum of car parking capacity had been taken out of the market. In fact, it had not been in the market for the last three years but we would be hopeful that this capacity will be in place next summer. In general, as we said in the opening statement, we support all modes of transport, particularly public transport, to the airport. It is important for members to be aware that within the planning system that we deal with, the supply of additional car parking facilities for the airport is not particularly favoured. It is difficult but we continue to make the case and to demonstrate that all modes of transport need to be catered for. Approximately one in four people who use the airport use a car park so all of the other transport provisions are equally important. As I said, however, we would be hopeful that there will be a greater number of car parking spaces within the capacity that is there for next summer.
