HC Deb 10 August 1966 vol 733 c359W
106. Dame Irene Ward

asked the President of the Board of Trade what steps he took to satisfy himself that proper landing and airport facilities would be available at international airports before permitting the purchase of the Boeing 747.

Mr. Jay

In making their assessments of new aircraft, B.O.A.C. take full account, as indeed do their competitors, of the airport facilities available and planned around the world. My right hon. Friend the Minister of Aviation has been assured that facilities will exist for the operation of B.O.A.C.'s Boeing 747's.
