§ Mr. Sandelsonasked the Secretary of State for Trade what restrictions are to be applied to night jet movements at Heathrow and at Gatwick in the winter period from 1st November 1976 to 31st March 1977.
§ Mr. Clinton DavisI have decided that the number of night jet movements permitted in the coming winter should be 2,200 at Heathrow and 1,600 at Gatwick. This represents a cut of 400 on the quotas at both airports last winter. The hours of restriction will be unchanged. This decision in no way prejudges the outcome of the long-term study on night jet402W restrictions aimed at reducing night time disturbance which is now in progress.
