HC Deb 19 July 1967 vol 750 cc2132-3
72. Mr. Kirk

asked the President of the Board of Trade when he proposes to publish the Report of the Second Interdepartmental Committee on the third London airport.

Mr. Jay

The work of the Review Committee formed the basis of the Government's White Paper on the third London airport.

Mr. Kirk

Is the President of the Board of Trade aware that I was well aware of that, as I understood everyone else was? As the report of the first inter-departmental committee was published, why should not the report of the second inter-departmental committee be published? Or has the right hon. Gentleman something to hide?

Mr. Jay

It was published in the form of a White Paper, as the hon. Gentleman says he already knows.
