§ Sir G. Sinclairasked the President of the Board of Trade in what estimated increases in day and in night air traffic at Gatwick over each of the 10 years 1966 to 1975 he is planning the development of the airport.
§ Mr. J. P. W. MallalieuThe B.A.A. are now responsible for the development of Gatwick Airport. Estimates of Gatwick's traffic alone are affected by several factors that are hard to forecast, such as the volume of services transferred from Heathrow and, towards the end of the period, the use that may be made of a254W third London airport. We expect the total number of air transport movements at the London Airports to increase by an average of between 3 per cent, and 6 per cent. a year over the period in question.
