§ 52. Mr. Swinglerasked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation for how long the cinema at London Airport has been operating; on what basis it is being managed; and what is his estimate of the profit or loss to date on this project.
§ Mr. NeaveThe cinema was opened on 8th June, 1957, and has been operating every day since then. It is being managed under contract as a result of competitive tender by an experienced company who receive a management fee and a percentage of the takings. Although it is too early to estimate profits or losses, the attendance figures are growing.
§ 66. Mr. Hunterasked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation whether he is yet in a position to make a statement regarding the proposed railway link from central London to the London Airport.
§ Mr. NeaveNo. My right hon. Friend and I are still considering this matter with the chairmen of the British Transport Commission and the Airways Corporations.
