HC Deb 08 December 1975 vol 902 c15W
Mr. Shersby

asked the Secretary of State for Trade what is his latest estimate of the extra costs which have been incurred by the British Airports Authority in building the underground rail link to London Airport; and when he expects passengers using the airport to be able to use the final stage of this rail link.

Mr. Clinton Davis

The British Airports Authority is responsible for constructing the subways from the underground station to the airport terminals, and I have drawn the attention of the chairman to the hon. Member's question about the costs it has incurred. The London Transport Executive, which is responsible for building the underground rail link, has said it expects this final stage to be open for passengers in the autumn of 1977.
