HC Deb 29 January 1985 vol 72 c84W
Mr. Cartwright

asked the Secretary of State for Transport what is Her Majesty's Government's policy on the use of helicopters at airports.

Mr. Michael Spicer

Provided that helicopter operators satisfy the Civil Aviation Authority that their proposed operations are safe, that where applicable the authority has granted an air transport licence, and that they do not cause undue noise disturbance to people on the ground, the Government regard the provision of helicopter services as a matter for operators' commercial judgment.
