HC Deb 30 November 1966 vol 737 c120W
Mr. Rankin

asked the President of the Board of Trade what proposals he has for the expansion of London Airport, in view of the present lack of runway facilities.

Mr. Mason

I have no reason to suppose that the runways at Heathrow are generally inadequate to cater for the present volume of traffic but the British Airports Authority has informed me of a proposal to extend No. 1 runway in order to meet increasing demand.
