HC Deb 28 October 1970 vol 805 cc129-30W
57. Sir E. Bullus

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry if he will make a statement about his proposals for the restriction of night jet aircraft flights into and out of London Airport for 1971.

Mr. Noble

Night jet aircraft movements at Heathrow will be restricted to 3,500 between the hours of 11.30 p.m. and 06.00 a.m. during the period from 1st April to 31st October, 1971. This limit has remained unchanged for six years despite growing demand and fewer non-jet flights.
