§ 34. Sir T. Mooreasked the Secretary of State for Scotland what reply he has given, or the action he has taken, in regard to the memorandum he has received from the Scottish Council of Industry on the subject of retaining Prestwick airport as a post-war Atlantic terminal.
Mr. JohnstonI received last week the submission referred to, and I am giving it careful consideration with a view to bringing the arguments and claims in favour of Prestwick to the notice of the Minister for Civil Aviation, and other Ministers concerned.
§ Sir T. MooreWill my right hon. Friend give this proposal his enthusiastic support, in view of its vital importance to the future prosperity of Scotland and to civil aviation?
