HC Deb 29 July 1976 vol 916 cc400-1W
Mr. Tim Renton

asked the Secretary of State for Trade what representations he has received, in connection with his review of airport strategy, from West Sussex County Council about the extent to which passenger traffic at Gatwick Airport should be allowed to expand.

Mr. Clinton Davis

West Sussex County Council's formal response to part 1 of the consultation document on airport strategy, which deals with the London area, was received in my Department on 20th July. The council expressed its views on a number of topics put forward in the document for discussion, including the options for expanding traffic at Gatwick Airport. The Government will take its comments into account before deciding on future airports policy.
