The appointment of this non-statutory Commission, under the Chairmanship of Mr. Justice Roskill, was announced in the House of Commons on 20 May 1968 by Mr. C A R Crosland, President of the Board of Trade.
The terms of reference for the Third London Airport Commission were 'to inquire into the timing of the need for a four - runway airport to cater for the growth of traffic at existing airports serving the London area, to consider the various alternative sites, and to recommend which site should be selected'. Special attention was to be given to 'general planning issues, including population and employment growth; noise, amenity and effect on agriculture and existing property; aviation issues, including air traffic control and safety; surface access; defence issues; and cost, including the need for cost/benefit analysis.'
