§ Lord BOSTON of FAVERSHAMasked Her Majesty's Government:
What proposals and sites are under consideration for a second helicopter port in the inner London area; whether any such proposals include a possible site in the Greenwich area, and, if so, precisely where; what stage has been reached in the consideration of any such proposals; what view they have formed of any such proposals.
Lord ORAMI understand that the Greater London Council are considering the need for a second heliport in London, including sites in the Surrey Docks and at Blackwall Point, and decided recently to undertake further studies on this matter. As stated in the Airports Policy White Paper, the Government will keep in close touch with the operators and local authorities about future developments in helicopter services.
