HC Deb 12 July 1978 vol 953 cc599-600W
71. Rear-Admiral Morgan-Giles

asked the Secretary of State for Defence what

traffic have been handled at each Welsh airport in each year since 1973.

Mr. Clinton Davis

The following for Cardiff, Swansea and Hawarden, which are the only airports in Wales making returns to the Civil Aviation Authority, is as follows:

representations have reached him concerning the payment of compensation for the loss of the Royal Sailors Rests in the Singapore base; and when he expects to make his decision on this matter.

Mr. Robert C. Brown

In answer to an inquiry in April 1977, the chairman of the trustees of the Royal Sailors' Rests was informed that it would take some time to examine and establish the basis of the many outstanding claims, similar to that put forward by the trust, before the question of payments, which would be made on an ex gratia basis, could be considered. I am anxious to bring this matter to a conclusion and hope to do so within a matter of weeks.
