§ Mr. Jesselasked the Secretary of State for Trade what proportion of flights taking off along the Mole Valley route from Heathrow on eastbound take off days during the current 12-month experimental route split are sent along the western limb over Hampton and the eastern limb over Teddington, respectively; and what is the reason for the difference.
§ Mr. Clinton DavisAbout 30 per cent. of the traffic using the Mole Valley route is being directed along the westerly sub-route and about 70 per cent. along the easterly sub-route, These proportions are as predicted and, as explained in the consultation document issued by my Department, result from directing aircraft for safety reasons along each sub-route by reference to their ultimate destination.
