§ 5. Mr. J. Howardasked the Minister of Aviation how much has been expended to date on the expansion programme at Hurn Airport; and how much more needs to be spent.
§ Mr. RipponSome £42,000 has been spent already, mainly on a new fire station. Approximately £560,000 needs to be spent, mostly on a new terminal building and apron.
§ Mr. HowardWill my hon. Friend consider the money yet to be spent in relation to the intention of Southampton Corporation to arrange for the airport to be continued after the Ministry has relinquished it?
§ Mr. RipponI do not think that there should be any conflict of interest in regard to the development of the two airfields.
