HC Deb 27 January 1971 vol 810 c143W
Mr. Dalyell

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what consideration he is giving to the existence of an Atomic Weapons Research Establishment blast tunnel near Foulness in his consideration of the siting of a third London Airport.

Mr. Anthony Grant

The existence of this facility and the probable effects upon it of an airport being built at Foulness were taken into account by the Commission and will therefore be considered along with all the other factors.
