HC Deb 08 April 1974 vol 872 c2W
21. Mr. S. James A. Hill

asked the Secretary of State for Trade, when considering the Maplin project, whether he will consider the possibility of discussing with the British Transport Docks Board the 600 acres of reclaimed land at Southampton for the new Europort of the United Kingdom.

Mr. Shore

The review I announced on 21st March—[Vol. 870. c. 1334–40]—will reappraise air traffic forecasts to 1990 and determine how this traffic might be handled, taking account of the noise and other environmental implications. It will not be concerned with the seaport which is being considered separately by my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for the Environment.

Forward to
