HC Deb 31 January 1968 vol 757 c320W
60. Mr. Fortescue

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether, in view of reductions in Government expenditure and United States restrictions on foreign travel, he will reconsider the urgency of the need for a third London airport.

Mr. J. P. W. Mallalieu

It is too early to judge how the factors mentioned by the hon. Member may affect the timing of the need for a third London airport but they are not likely to make any significant difference to it.
