HC Deb 11 May 1966 vol 728 cc65-6W
44. Mr. Emrys Hughes

asked the Minister of Aviation what annual revenue will be received from the United States Air Force for the use of civil airports.

Mr. Mulley

Airport charges are not levied on U.S.A.F. aircraft landing at airports owned and managed by my Department. As indicated in the answer which I gave earlier to the hon. Member for Ayr (Mr. Younger), the question of landing charges at the British Airports Authority's airports is under consideration. I have no ready means of ascertaining what charges are or will be levied at other non-Government airports, but the U.S.A.F. makes little use of such airports at present.
