§ Sir Knox Cunninghamasked the Minister of Aviation if he will consider the use of an alternative airport in Northern Ireland when the civil airport at Aldergrove in County Antrim has to shut down because of weather conditions, and so avoid the necessity of passengers having to go to Dublin in the Republic of Eire; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. AmeryI recognise the inconvenience caused to passengers by diversions to Dublin, and I am looking into the possibility of making arrangements more convenient to the travelling public.
§ Sir Knox Cunninghamasked the Minister of Aviation whether, in his study of the problem of the congestion in the Baggage Claim Hall at the civil airport in Aldergrove in County Antrim, he will consider installing a circular moving baggage delivery unit similar to those in use at Gloucester Road terminal at London and at certain foreign airports.
§ Mr. AmeryYes; should it prove necessary. But with the minor changes which I referred to in the reply to my hon. Friend's Question of 20th November, I am advised that the existing arrangements should prove satisfactory.
§ Sir Knox Cunninghamasked the Minister of Aviation if he will provide some accommodation as a rest room for 50W passengers with babies and small children at the civil airport at Aldergrove, County Antrim; and if he will make a statement as to the conditions for receiving such young passengers when they are waiting at the terminal building for a flight which has been delayed.
