§ Mr. WatkinsonThe facilities at Dyce Aerodrome are adequate for the traffic which may be expected there in the next78W few years. The provision of air services is a matter for the commercial judgment of airlines.
§ 70. Mr. Hector Hughesasked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation if he is aware of the increase in traffic to and from Aberdeen caused by the developments at Dounreay; and if he will state his plans for providing passenger and freight planes to and from Dounreay through Aberdeen to cope with this traffic.
§ Mr. WatkinsonYes; the Dounreay developments have certainly increased traffic through Aberdeen to Wick which is the aerodrome serving Dounreay. For the last two years B.E.A. have provided extra services to deal with this traffic. The frequency of the services to Wick is, of course, a matter for the commercial judgment of airlines.
