HC Deb 18 December 1987 vol 124 c780W
Mr. Nicholas Bennett

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport if he will make a statement about the external financing limit for the Civil Aviation Authority.

Mr. Peter Bottomley

The external financing limit for the CAA for 1987–88 has been reduced from £15.3 million to £1 million. This reduction is made possible by extra receipts accruing on en route navigation charges mainly due to higher traffic levels than forecast.
