asked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation what night weather records he has caused to be kept at Gatwick since the development of the aerodrome was first reconsidered in 1951.

No night meteorological observations have been taken at Gatwick since 1951. The conclusions to be drawn with respect to night weather from the statistics available at 0900 hours are set out at length in paragraphs 8 and 9 of Command 9296. to which I would refer the hon. and gallant Member.
