§ Mrs. Ewingasked the President of the Board of Trade if he will take steps to decentralise air transport and to develop airports in Scotland and municipal airports in England and Wales so as to avoid the expense of setting up a third London airport.
§ Mr. William RodgersA third London Airport will be necessary in any event to meet rapidly increasing traffic. I agree, however, there is much to be said for the growth of international services from airports outside the London area. We shall bear this in mind in our review of civil aviation policy following the publication of the Edwards Report.
