HC Deb 03 November 1966 vol 735 c159W
72. Mr. Dodds-Parker

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies what action is being taken to pave the existing runway on South Caicos before it deteriorates further.

Mr. Frederick Lee

An engineering survey of the airport on South Caicos was carried out recently and samples of the existing runway materials are currently being tested in the United Kingdom. The Administrator will be advised of the measures needed to improve the runway surface as soon as test reports have been received, which should be within the next few days.
