§ Mr. Onslowasked the President of the Board of Trade if he will publish in the 163W OFFICIAL REPORT the directive he has sent to the Chairman of the British Airports Authority, notifying him of the restrictions on investment which he expects him to impose as a result of the latest economic restrictions, and the reply which he has received.
§ Mr. JayI have issued no such directive. I have, however, consulted the Chairman of the British Airports Authority about these reductions in capital expenditure, and he has assured me of the Authority's full co-operation.
