HC Deb 11 May 1966 vol 728 cc68-9W
52. Mr. Dobson

asked the Minister of Aviation whether he will introduce legislation to empower him to fix landing charges at municipally-owned airports, to encourage inter-city air travel.

Mr. Snow

By virtue of Article 62 of the Air Navigation Order, 1960, I already have powers to regulate charges at any aerodrome licensed for public use. I should, however, hesitate to exercise them in any way which might impose additional burdens on local rates.
