HC Deb 31 January 1968 vol 757 c321W
Mrs. Ewing

asked the President of the Board of Trade what plans he has for the development of Turnhouse Airport.

Mr. J. P. W. Mallalieu

Current plans include the provision of a second runway and of a new terminal building and related area. The timing of these developments remains to be decided in relation generally to the need for economy in public expenditure and particularly, as regards the runway, to decisions now pending on the composition of the B.E.A. fleet.

Mrs. Ewing

asked the President of the Board of Trade what is the estimated cost of equipping Turnhouse Airport with radar.

Mr. J. P. W. Mallalieu

£150,000.
