§ Mr. Hoosonasked the Secretary of State for Wales what plans he has for developing air transport within Wales.
§ Mr. MulleyI have been asked to reply.
Development of Welsh and other British air services is, subject to licensing, primarily a matter for the commercial judgment of interested operators. They have as yet found little demand for services within Wales, but provide valuable and developing scheduled services from Glamorgan (Rhoose), Swansea or Hawarden to important centres in the United Kingdom, Eire and the Continent, as well as many seasonal inclusive tour services. The Government would welcome further development of Welsh air services, provided the traffic demand was adequate to support them.
