HC Deb 09 December 1969 vol 793 c113W
Mr. Michael McNair-Wilson

asked the President of the Board of Trade what consideration is being given to the provision of runway arresting systems at British airports.

Mr. Goronwy Roberts

A number of types of arrester systems is being considered but none is yet fully suitable for civil aircraft operations. The actual provision of an arrester system at an airport would be a matter for the airport authority.
