HC Deb 26 February 1987 vol 111 cc333-4W
Mr. Bowen Wells

asked the Secretary of State for Transport if he will give the numbers of passenger and aircraft movements at Stansted airport over the last 10 years to date.

Mr. Michael Spicer

The information is as follows:

Stansted airport
Terminal passengers1 Aircraft movements1
1976–77 290,951 3,879
1977–78 291,818 4,179
1978–79 329,521 4,691
1979–80 344,351 4,937

for it. The rules also require the inspector to report to the Secretary of State his conclusions and recommendations, if any, or his reasons for not making any recommendations. In practice, the inspector's conclusions amount to the reasons for his recommendations.

There are no plans to amend these rules.

If my hon. Friend has a particular case in mind, perhaps he will write to me.
