HC Deb 25 May 1971 vol 818 c92W
Mr. Wilkinson

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland whether in granting planning permission for the main runway extension at Glasgow Airport he was guided by the same criteria as those applied to recent applications for runway extensions to municipally-owned airports in England.

Mr. Gordon Campbell

Each application must be decided on its own merits. My decision was made in the light of declared Government policy on the rôle of the airport and of the evidence presented at the public local inquiry.
