HC Deb 29 February 1972 vol 832 cc86-7W
Mr. Adley

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry whether it is his intention to discourage air traffic from using Heathrow Airport when Foulness Airport is commissioned; and what compensation will be available to British and foreign companies adversely affected.

Mr. Noble

I have nothing to add at present to the statement made on 27th July last year to the effect that the Government expect it will be possible after Maplin is opened to impose stricter limits on air traffic movements and to apply other restraints at Heathrow and Gatwick. —[Vol. 822, c.73–4.]
