HC Deb 17 December 1969 vol 793 c335W
Mr. Howie

asked the President of the Board of Trade if he will propose to the municipal airport operators that they should negotiate among themselves an agreement to limit the number of night jet flights from the airports under their control.

Mr. Goronwy Roberts

I am aware that an airport owner who recognises a social obligation to impose a limit on night jet movements sometimes feels inhibited from doing so because of the possibility that he may lose some of his traffic, day and night, to others. I therefore welcome the suggestion of a coordinated approach and will commend it to the Aerodrome Owners' Association.
