Mr. Robert Davies

asked the President of the Board of Trade (1) what was the value and percentage of total British exports in 1960 and 1966, respectively, of exports to Commonwealth countries, the rest of the sterling area, European Free Trade Association countries, European Economic Community countries, and the rest of the world, respectively;

(2) what was the value and percentage of total British imports in 1960 and 1966, respectively, of imports from Commonwealth countries, the rest of the sterling area, European Free Trade Association countries, European Economic Community countries, and the rest of the world, respectively.

Mr. Darling

The following is the information.

Mr. J. P. W. Mallalieu

I presume my hon. Friend has in mind B.E.A.'s proposals for various helicopter services, including one between Heathrow and central London. To the extent that B.E.A. require my right hon. Friend's approval for the scheme it has not yet been sought and his view has been that he should not intervene until a decision has been taken on the Corporation's application to the G.L.C. for planning permission to construct a new heliport. I can, however, assure my hon. Friend that the public interest, including in particular the noise implications, is being fully borne in mind.

Forward to
