§ 39. Mr. C. Hughesasked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation how many diversionary landings have been made by civil aircraft at Valley Airfield, Anglesey, during the last three years.
§ Mr. ProfumoNine, Sir.
§ Mr. HughesIs the hon. Gentleman aware that that is a most unsatisfactory reply? Is he aware that Valley is scheduled as the reserve airport for Prestwick? Can he say where aircraft 1706 diverted from Prestwick go if they do not go to Valley?
§ Mr. ProfumoSome go to Shannon, but we have, of course, no means of compelling operators to use a certain airport if they find that another suits them better.
