§ Mr. Geoffrey Johnson Smithasked the Secretary of State for Trade if he will publish the figures showing that the provision of a second terminal at Gatwick could provide capacity for about three years' growth of traffic in the London area.
§ Mr. TebbitThe forecasts in the White Paper on airports policy envisaged that passenger demand at the London area airports might be between 51.1 and 63.5 789W million passengers in 1985, when a second terminal could be available at Gatwick, and that it would grow by between 5 per cent. and 7 per cent. per year. On this basis, the capacity of 9 million passengers a year envisaged for the second terminal would be equivalent to about three years' growth of traffic.
