HC Deb 23 May 1975 vol 892 cc684-5W
Mr. George Cunningham

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment whether the need to safeguard the land required for the Maplin rail link and its terminal at Kings Cross is now terminated; and if all local authorities have been specifically so informed.

Mr. Mulley

The Government's decision in July 1974 to abandon the Maplin project for a third London Airport made it unnecessary to arrange for the land for a rail link and in-town terminal to be safeguarded. There is therefore no need to inform the local authorities.
