HC Deb 28 March 1974 vol 871 c212W
Mr. Madel

asked the Secretary of State for Trade whether he will give an assurance that the review that he has announced of the Maplin airport project will not extend to consideration of any proposal to construct a second runway at Luton airport.

Mr. Clinton Davis

As part of the review we shall be considering how the traffic can be accommodated at existing airports. We must await the outcome of this work, but there are no plans for a second runway at Luton.
