HC Deb 02 June 1980 vol 985 cc568-9W
Dr. Mawhinney

asked the Minister of Transport how many circulars and other forms of general guidance his Department issued during the months January to April 1978, 1979 and 1980.

Mr. Fowler

Circulars and other forms of guidance are issued by my Department mainly to local authorities in England. Technical memoranda are also available to the road construction industry and other interested bodies. Figures for unpublished circular letters are not recorded. Numbers are as follows:

of the Piccadilly line to the proposed new terminal 4 at London, Heathrow airport.

Mr. Fowler

A working party was set up to examine a number of schemes to serve terminal 4. These included extension of the Piccadilly line to a new terminal station and a loop line from Hat-ton Cross via terminal 4 to Heathrow central station, eliminating the need to reverse trains there. The working party reported earlier this year and I hope to make my views known soon.
