HC Deb 24 April 1967 vol 745 cc202-3W
5. Mr. A. Royle

asked the Minister of Public Building and Works what representations he has made to the Greater London Council regarding the proposed helicopter service over Richmond Park.

Mr. Prentice

Assuming the hon. Member has in mind B.E.A.'s proposal for a helicopter service between Heathrow and Central London, I would refer him to the reply given on 5th April by my hon. Friend the Joint Minister of State for the Board of Trade to my hon. Friend the Member for Putney (Mr. Hugh Jenkins). Planning permission for the construction of a new heliport is still being discussed between the Greater London Council and B.E.A. and the public interest, including the possible effect any helicopter service might have on the amenities of Richmond Park, will be fully taken into account.—[Vol. 744, c. 55–6.]
