HC Deb 16 January 1989 vol 145 c88W
34. Mr. Kirkwood

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport when he now expects the new air traffic control systems to be operating in the south-east sector in the United Kingdom.

Mr. Peter Bottomley

The Civil Aviation Authority has advised that the major reorganisation of the airspace over south-east England—known as the central control function—will be implemented in stages by the national air traffic services between 1990 and 1995, with some gains in capacity beginning to accrue from 1992.
