§ 5. Mr. Wingfield Digbyasked the Minister of Aviation whether he will give a general direction, in the public interest, to British European Airways not to discontinue services from airports in the South-West.
§ Mr. StonehouseNo, Sir. Decisions on particular services are matters for the board of B.E.A.
§ Mr. DigbyWill the hon. Gentleman bear in mind the needs of the South-West and reconsider the desirability of concentrating airports in the built-up areas where the maximum nuisance is caused to householders?
§ Mr. StonehouseI think that that anticipates Question No. 8, and I shall reply to it on that.
