HC Deb 01 July 1969 vol 786 c83W
Mr. Brian Parkyn

asked the Minister of Transport (1) what study has been made by his Department of the road communications necessary to serve a third London airport and the need to relate this road pattern to the National Motorway and Trunk Road Programme:

(2) what estimate he has made of the expected traffic flow between Central London and the third London airport.

Mr. Marsh

We are co-operating with the research staff of the Commission on the Third London Airport in studies of these problems. I understand that the Commission proposes to publish the results before Stage V of its inquiry. The approach adopted is outlined in Chapters 4 and 7 of the Commission's publication "Assessment of the Short-Listed Sites: Proposed Research Methodology ", a copy of which is in the Library.

Forward to
