HC Deb 21 March 1973 vol 853 c118W
Mr. Norman Lamont

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry how many jet passenger aircraft took off from Heathrow Airport between 11.30 p.m. and 6 a.m. in the period from 1st April to 31st October 1972.

Mr. Onslow

There were 516 jet departures during the period. Our records show that nearly 500 of these were passenger aircraft, but doubt has arisen about the precise number and I will write to my hon. Friend when investigations are completed.
