§ Mr. Jannerasked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation when he anticipates that the new Gatwick Airport will be ready; what staffs from London Airport will be moved to Gatwick; and when he anticipates such a move will take place.
§ Mr. WatkinsonGatwick Airport is being planned to reopen in the spring of 1958. Government staff will be provided as required by my Department and the other Departments concerned, but not in particular from London Airport; I am informed that B.E.A. may find perhaps half the staff that it will require at Gatwick from London Airport. The majority of staffs will move in when the reopening takes place, but some will be required on a limited scale a few months before this.
