HC Deb 28 March 1956 vol 550 c2136
5. Mr. Emrys Hughes

asked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation what representations he received about the commandant's suite at London Airport; what alterations were made as a result of these representations; and the estimated cost of the alterations.

Mr. Watkinson

I have received no representations. The rest of the Question, therefore, does not arise.

Mr. Hughes

Is the right hon. Gentleman aware that widespread publicity has been given to the fact that an additional £40,000 was spent at London Airport recently because of certain accommodation? Is that without justification?

Mr. Watkinson

What I am aware of is that I have asked that plans should be prepared for an alternative method at London Airport of dealing with very special occasions. That is a purely planning project. No cost has been ascertained, no money has been spent, and no construction is projected.
