HC Deb 20 November 1987 vol 122 c696W
Mr. Hind

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport if he has been asked to approve any further development at Manchester International airport.

Mr. Peter Bottomley

Since 1979 the Government have facilitated investment of over £100 million on developments at Manchester International. Further bids — including expenditure to prepare the way for a second passenger terminal—are being considered as part of the annual round of capital expenditure allocations for local authority airports.
