HC Deb 23 October 1987 vol 120 c915W
Mr. Shersby

asked the Secretary of State for Transport what proposals he has to encourage the greater use of Stansted airport by charter flight operators.

Mr. Peter Bottomley

My right hon. Friend has no specific proposals in mind; the 1985 White Paper "Airports Policy" (Cmnd 9542) described how the development of Stansted airport would be needed to meet the estimated demand on the London airports system. The rate of growth of Stansted and which airlines will use it are primarily matters for the civil aviation market itself to determine.
