HC Deb 11 February 1971 vol 811 c266W
Mr. Bishop

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry if he is now satisfied with the present safeguards for the prevention of collision of aircraft at Heathrow and other British airports: and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Noble

The possibilities of reducing further the small risk of collision at airports are under continued scrutiny. In this sense one is never finally satisfied with the safeguards currently in operation, but I am satisfied that a high standard is already achieved and that it will go on being improved.
