HC Deb 24 March 1969 vol 780 c222W
86. Mr. Grimond

asked the President of the Board of Trade when a decision will be reached on the provision of an air strip for the island of Eday in Orkney.

Mr. Dell

This is primarily a matter for the Orkney County Council. I understand that their difficulties over acquiring a suitable site are on the way to being resolved. The remaining problem is one of finance which is now under urgent consideration by the Council, the Board and the Scottish Development Department.
