HC Deb 08 December 1965 vol 722 c406
22. Mr. Hamling

asked the Minister of Aviation what steps have been taken to consult residents in south-east London and north-west Kent about proposals to establish a third London airport south of the Thames.

Mr. Jenkins

The Government have no present proposals to establish a third London Airport in this area. A public inquiry is now being held into the proposed development of Stansted, Essex, as the third London Airport; objectors to that proposal have suggested alternative sites in north Kent.
