§ Mr. Spriggsasked the Minister for Trade if he is now able to offer any upgrading of Liverpool airport; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. SproatNo. The Government have stated that they support the categorisation of airports given in the 1978 White Paper on airports policy—Cmnd. 7084—but that this should not be interpreted rigidly or in such a way as to frustrate the natural growth in demand for services from any individual airport.
