HC Deb 17 February 1975 vol 886 c291W
30. Mr. Newens

asked the Secretary of State for Trade if he will make a statement on the future plans for Stansted Airport.

Mr. Clinton Davis

Following the decision to abandon the Maplin airport project we are now considering the views of local authorities and others as the basis for more detailed consultations on the way in which future London area air traffic should be handled. In advance of this consultation I cannot comment on the future of Stansted.
