asked the Secretary of State for Transport what are the implications for his Department in terms of additional staffing of the recommendations contained in the document, "Air Traffic Distribution in the London Area" (CAP 522), recently published by the Civil Aviation Authority.

Mr. Michael Spicer

None.

Mr. Bill Walker

asked the Secretary of State for Transport what will be the extra cost to his Department of implementing the recommendations made by the Civil Aviation Authority in their document "Air Traffic Distribution in the London Area" (CAP 522).

Mr. Michael Spicer

My right hon. Friend and I are still considering the CAA's recommendations. I do not expect any extra cost to the Department from such recommendations as we decide to implement.

Mr. Bill Walker

asked the Secretary of State for Transport what assessment he has made of the implications for scheduled flights to regional airports, and, in particular, to Manchester, Inverness and Dundee, of the recommendations relating to traffic movements contained in the Civil Aviation Authority's report "Air Traffic Distribution in the London Area", (CAP 522).

Mr. Michael Spicer

My right hon. Friend and I are taking account of such implications in our consideration of the CAA's advice.

Mr. Bill Walker

asked the Secretary of State for Transport if he is yet in a position to respond to the proposals from the Civil Aviation Authority regarding "Air Traffic Distribution in the London Area", (CAP 522); and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Michael Spicer

No. My right hon. Friend and I are still considering the CAA's advice and intend to make an announcement in due course.
