HC Deb 25 July 1974 vol 877 cc559-60W
Sir D. Walker-Smith

asked the Secretary of State for Trade whether, having regard to the fact that no reference is made to the proposed expansion of Thorley in the relevant paragraphs of his Department's publication "Maplin Review of Airport Project", he will, in any plans affecting the development or expansion of Stansted Airport, have regard to the fact that planning permission has been given for very considerable residential development at Thorley on the assumption, following the findings of the Roskill Commission, that there will be no major expansion at Stansted.

Mr. Clinton Davis

Precise price comparisons are very difficult to make because of differences in quality, grading and methods of presentation but the following information illustrates the difference in prices:—

of the consultations which we shall be having with local authorities about the way in which future air traffic in the South-East will be handled.
