§ Mr. Kenneth Clarkeasked the Secretary of State for Trade whether he proposes to issue any circular or guidance to local authorities to the effect that they should not commit themselves to major investment schemes for the development of regional airports before the publication of the Government's White Paper on the subject.
§ Mr. Clinton DavisNo. The White Paper is expected to be published early in the new year and local authorities are unlikely to commit themselves to major investment schemes over the next few weeks.
