HC Deb 17 November 1954 vol 533 c31W
5. Mr. P. Williams

asked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation what recent consideration has been given to the possibility of connecting the new Terminal Buildings at London Airport with the London Underground system.

Mr. Boyd-Carpenter

The British Transport Commission and the air corporations jointly considered this question early this year and concluded that the Underground system was unsuitable for the carriage of airline passengers and their baggage and that special fast trains cannot be superimposed on the existing services.
