HC Deb 27 June 1967 vol 749 cc256-7
Q7. Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Prime Minister whether he will publish in the OFFICIAL REPORT the communication, dated 16th June, 1967, concerning Stansted Airport, which he received from Mr. Brian Halliwell.

The Prime Minister

No, Sir, it would not, I think, be right for me to publish letters I receive from members of the public in this way.

Mr. Lewis

If my right hon. Friend will not publish it, will he consider seriously the points contained in the letter, which I hope he has studied up to the moment?

The Prime Minister

Yes, Sir, I will continue to give the closest consideration to these points, although many people who write to me would, I think, be a little perturbed if I were to get into the habit of publishing their letters without their agreement. A reply will, of course, be sent in due course.
