§ 75. Sir G. Sinclairasked the President of the Board of Trade if, in view of the rapid increase of traffic at Gatwick 35W Airport, he will now impose a limit on night jet flights there between the hours of 11.30 p.m. and 6 a.m. similar to the limit imposed by him at Heathrow; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. MasonI recognise that to allow the growth of night jet traffic at Gatwick to continue unchecked at its present rate could lead to an intolerable noise situation. While I propose to put no restriction on 1970 traffic, a full review of trends will be undertaken next spring to consider limitations for 1971 and beyond.
