§ Mr. Bradleyasked the President of the Board of Trade if he will make a statement on the Roskill Commission's short list of sites for the third London Airport.
§ Mr. William RodgersThe Commission's short list will be made public tomorrow, 4th March. I shall place in the library of the House a copy of the hon. Mr. Justice Roskill's letter to my right hon. Friend giving the names of the short listed sites. The Commission will now move to Stage II of its procedure (see OFFICIAL REPORT for 20th May, 1968, columns 39–40) under which public local hearings will be held into each of the sites so that views on the local implications can be made known to the Commission. It is expected that the first local hearing will be held in about two months' time.
