HC Deb 24 January 1974 vol 867 c355W
Mr. Eadie

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he has reached a decision about awarding expenses to objectors to the new runway and terminal buildings at Edinburgh (Turnhouse) Airport in the light of the Parliamentary Commissioner's report.

Mr. Gordon Campbell

No. The report of the Parliamentary Commissioner for Administration reached me only a few days ago. His suggestion about expenses is not without difficulty, but I shall consider it carefully.

Mr. Eadie

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he now intends to examine future planning procedures as a result of the Parliamentary Commissioner's report on the new runway and terminal buildings at Edinburgh (Turnhouse) Airport.

Mr. Gordon Campbell

Nothing in the Parliamentary Commissioner's Report suggests that a major review of planning procedures is necessary.
