HC Deb 05 June 1967 vol 747 c133W
120. Mr. Berry

asked the Minister of Transport what investigations are being held into providing facilities for mass transit between Stansted Airport and London; and when she expects to be able to announce details of these facilities.

Mr. John Morris

The Department was consulted throughout the examination of possible sites for the Third London Airport and, with British Rail, established that a rail link from Stansted to London would be feasible at a cost of about £5 million. We plan that the M11 will be available by the early 1970s.

We will be studying further, with the other interests concerned, how and when mass transit facilities should be provided. I cannot say when these studies will be complete.
