HC Deb 06 February 1963 vol 671 c74W
Mr. J. Robertson

asked the Minister of Aviation at what date it is proposed to begin work on building the new airport at Abbotsinch.

Mr. Amery

As the hon. Member will be aware, I am at present considering, with the help of representatives of the Scottish local authorities, the best arrangements for the future control of Scottish aerodromes. Meanwhile design work on the new civil airport at Abbots-inch is going ahead and I hope that building work will start before the end of this year.
