§ Mr. Wrigglesworthasked the Secretary of State for Trade whether it is his policy that operations at Teesside Airport should be confined to third level services, as defined in the White Paper on Airports Policy.
§ Mr. Clinton DavisNo. The classification of airports in the White Paper should be interpreted flexibly, since individual airports have particular functions which might change over a period of time. The White Paper suggests that Teesside Airport has a significant future, and that it should provide a range of domestic services, as well as international short-haul services where there is sufficient demand.
