HC Deb 13 July 1962 vol 662 c173W
Mr. Hiley

asked the Minister of Aviation what proposals he has for establishing another international airport in England; where this is to be situated; and when he expects it to be in operation.

Mr. Thorneycroft

The only new international airport that I am at present considering is for the London area where, on present traffic forecasts, a third airport will be required shortly after 1970. An inter-departmental committee with airline representation is now examining the problem of where this third London airport should be sited.
