HC Deb 13 March 1957 vol 566 c173W
6. Mr. John Hall

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies what steps are being taken to provide Freetown with a modern airport.

Mr. Lennox-Boyd

A lot of money has been spent during recent years on developing Lungi Airport, including a new runway costing about £205,000. The possibility of finding a site for a new international airport nearer Freetown is being investigated.
