§ Mr. Gryllsasked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what is the estimated increase in average daily aircraft movements at Heathrow by 1985 if Maplin is not built.
§ Mr. OnslowThis is one of the points being examined in the review which the Government are making of the Maplin project. The British Airports Authority has estimated that, without Maplin, Heathrow would need by the mid-1980s to accommodate 40 million passengers a year compared with today's 20 million, and 330,000 air transport movements, which is 25 per cent above today's level.
