§ Mr. Cryerasked the Secretary of State for Transport if he will introduce legislation to limit the number of light planes using Heathrow by placing a lower limit on the number of seats per aircraft which can use Heathrow except in emergency; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. Peter BottomleyNo. I assume that the hon. Member has in mind the recent incident at Heathrow in which a light aircraft is alleged to have crossed the path of an airliner on take-off. As the hon. Member may know, that incident is under investigation by the CAA; I shall ask the chairman to write to him in due course.
