HC Deb 16 May 1960 vol 623 c95W
Mr. A. Roberts

asked the Minister of Aviation the amount of financial aid that is required from his Department to bring about improvements required to the Leeds-Bradford-West Riding airport.

Mr. Sandys

The Airport Joint Committee has been asked for further information about its proposals, including an estimate of the extent to which the local authorities would accept the cost as a charge upon local rates. Until this information has been received I cannot say whether financial aid from the Exchequer would be justified.
