§ 66. Mr. Leslie Huckfieldasked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry whether he will make a further statement on the Linesman Mediator and its contribution in reducing air traffic congestion.
§ Mr. Anthony GrantThe Mediator system is operating satisfactorily and10W further improvements are planned. Since the initial period there have been no serious delays attributable to Mediator, although the London Air Traffic Control Centre handled 20 per cent. more traffic last March than it did in March, 1970. We have every hope of maintaining that record through the peak summer period so far as delays under our own control are concerned.
