HC Deb 21 May 1996 vol 278 cc133-4W
Mrs. Dunwoody

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, pursuant to his answer of 26 March,Official Report, column 542, what is the time scale of each of the detailed assessments listed. [29570]

Mr. Norris

Detailed assessments of Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted and Luton were carried out by the RUCATSE working group as it judged only these airports offered worthwhile prospects of responding to forecast levels of demand. The group took the view that Southampton, Manston and Lydd did not merit detailed assessments. RUCATSE's report was published in July 1993.
