HC Deb 20 November 1968 vol 773 cc287-8W
Mr. George Jeger

asked the President of the Board of Trade on how many days during each of the past three years Yeadon Airport has been closed owing to fog, causing the diversion of aircraft to other airports.

Mr. Rodgers

The Leeds/Bradford Airport Authority inform us that the airport was closed owing to fog for two days in 1965 and one day in 1966 and 1967. In addition, there were six occasions during the three years when fog closed the airport for part of the day and three when fog and snow combined caused closure.
