§ 10. Mr. Emrys Hughesasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Civil Aviation how the cost of the new runway at Prestwick compares with the cost of the new runway at Singapore.
§ The Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Civil Aviation (Mr. Lindgren)The construction of a new runway at Prestwick has been deferred and no close estimate of the cost can be given.
§ Mr. HughesCan the Parliamentary Secretary give any information about Singapore?
§ Mr. LindgrenAny Question with regard to Singapore should be addressed to my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for the Colonies.
§ Mr. StokesOn a question of fact, if the Parliamentary Secretary says that no estimate of cost can be given, does he mean to say that this thing was contemplated and no estimate was made, and, if an estimate was made, why cannot it be given?
§ Mr. LindgrenThe actual site has not been arranged and, until the siting is determined, one cannot give a close estimate.
