§ 119. Sir G. Toucheasked the Minister of Civil Aviation whether, before making a decision for a large-scale development of Gatwick Airport, full consideration was given to the reasons which made his Department decide in 1948 against any such development.
§ Mr. Lennox-BoydYes.
§ 120. Sir G. Toucheasked the Minister of Civil Aviation whether, in view of the great and unexpected drainage difficulties experienced in making Gatwick Airport, he can give an assurance that similar difficulties are not likely to be experienced in the proposed Gatwick project.
§ Mr. Lennox-BoydThe drainage problems which may arise in connection with the proposed development of Gatwick Airport have been carefully studied and I am advised that they are not expected to cause undue difficulty.
