HC Deb 01 March 1971 vol 812 c344W
Mr. Leslie Huckfield

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what benefits to amenity and the environment he expects from the operation of the Linesman/Mediator project for residents under the holding pattern areas approach and take-off paths for London Airport.

Mr. Noble

I have been asked to reply.

The project's purpose is to improve handling of air traffic. I doubt if this can yield significant benefits to amenity in areas overflown around Heathrow Airport.
