HC Deb 21 January 1970 vol 794 c133W
49. Mr. Bishop

asked the President of the Board of Trade what further steps he is taking to ensure safety of aircraft and passengers at Heathrow Airport, following the recent and further near collision of aircraft there.

Mr. Goronwy Roberts

The introduction of measures to promote the safety of traffic at Heathrow is a constant and continuing process. Following the recent incident the Board of Trade and Ministry of Defence are together examining whether any immediate steps should be taken, and a further examination will be made when the outcome of the investigation by the Chief Inspector of Accidents is known.
