§ Dr. GibsonTo ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what plans she has to assess the sale of Norwich airport for value for money.131216]
§ Mr. McNulty[holding answer 14 October 2003]: I have been asked to reply. The Government do not plan to assess the sale of Norwich airport. It is the duty of the Directors to act in the best interest of the company, and thereby in the best interest of the shareholding authorities. Moreover, the sale would be subject to scrutiny by the District Auditor.
