HC Deb 25 November 1996 vol 286 c53W
19. Mr. Jamieson

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport if he will make a statement about the Government's policy on the ring-fencing of slots in and out of Heathrow. [4023]

Sir George Young

The Government do not consider it appropriate to ring-fence airport slots for domestic routes, as this would distort the aviation market.
