§ 129. Mr. Blytonasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Civil Aviation whether a civil airport will be located at the White Mare Pool site, Boldon, County Durham; and if it will entail the non-sterilization of the coal in the area.
§ Mr. LindgrenThe development of the Boldon site as the North-Eastern civil airport is still under consideration. Various alternative layouts are being investigated in relation to the particular problem of coal sterilization. The development of the site would probably involve some sterilization of coal. Ways in which this could be reduced to a minimum are being closely examined.
