VISCOUNT MERSEYasked Her Majesty's Government:
Whether they are yet in a position to publish the Report of the Committee on the planning of Helicopter stations in the London area and whether they will make a statement.
§ THE PAYMASTER GENERAL (LORD MILLS)In their first Report, the Committee recommended three possible sites for the operation of regular services with large scale helicopters; Nine Elms Goods Yard, Cannon Street Station roof and St. Katherine Docks. Detailed technical and economic studies are continuing.
Meanwhile, as the report contains much of public interest, my right honourable friend the Minister of Aviation has decided to publish it, together with a Supplementary Report recently completed by the Committee on the possibility of operating helicopters from the roofs of high buildings. Copies will be available in the Printed Paper Office to-day.
