§ 68. Mr. G. Porterasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Civil Aviation if he is now in a position to announce that Yeadon has been selected as the most suitable site for an aerodrome to serve the industrial area of Yorkshire; and if he will now take steps to see that the existing aerodrome is made suitable, so that it may come within the civil aviation programme and be scheduled as a transport aerodrome.

§ Mr. LindgrenMy noble Friend appreciates the need for a modern aerodrome to serve this area and is examining whether and at what cost the present aerodrome at Yeadon, which is not at present operationally suitable for regular airline services, could be developed to the required standards.
§ Lieut.-Colonel Sharpasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Civil Aviation to what extent alterations are required to make Yeadon aerodrome the international airport for the industrial area of the West Riding of Yorkshire; when they will be completed; and when Yeadon will be taken into use by the three British airways corporations.
