§ Sir Bernard Braineasked the Minister for Overseas Development when a decision will be taken about the extension of the airport in the Falkland Islands as recommended in the Shackleton Report.
§ Mr. JuddMy colleagues and I are still considering the recommendation on the extension of the Falkland Islands airport in the context of the Shackleton Report as a whole. The hon. Gentleman will appreciate that this long and closely argued document calls for study in depth, and I am unable now to give the exact dates on which the Government's con-26W sideration will be completed or on which a final decision on the airport can be given.
