HC Deb 04 July 1960 vol 626 c2W
21. Mr. Awbery

asked the Minister of Aviation if he is aware of the growing need for a helicopter service for conveying passengers to and from airports to the centres of cities; and if he will request local authorities to prepare for this eventuality by reserving and preparing sites to be used as heliports in towns and cities.

Mr. Sandys

It must be expected that helicopter services will, before many years have passed, become one of the normal methods of travel between cities. I have, therefore, advised local authorities to consider earmarking well in advance suitable sites for heliports.
