HC Deb 03 July 1972 vol 840 c12W
Mr. Allason

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry (1) whether, in view of the results of recent trials in the United States of America of two segment aircraft approach, he will now carry out further tests;

(2) whether he will publish the results of tests of the two segement aircraft approach technique.

Mr. Onslow

We are keeping the matter under constant review taking account of work being done in the United States in addition to our own tests. A decision will be taken in due course on whether other tests in this country will be required. Meanwhile it would be misleading to publish the results of trials in isolation and I have nothing to add to the reply I gave to my hon. Friend the Member for Waltham stow, East (Mr. Michael McNair-Wilson) on 9th June.—[Vol. 838, c.183–4.]
