HC Deb 04 March 1994 vol 238 cc79-80W
18. Mr. Khabra

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what representations he has received about the current restrictions on night flights at Heathrow.

Mr. Norris

The current winter season lasts from 24 October 1993 until 27 March this year. During the preceding consultation, we received representations from local authorities, environmental groups, the airports, airlines and aviation bodies. We have aimed to maintain the balance between the needs of the aviation industry and the concerns of local people.
