HC Deb 21 April 1967 vol 745 cc167-8W
Mr. J. H. Osborn

asked the President of the Board of Trade what discussions he has had with the Yorkshire, Humberside and East Midlands Regional Boards with a view to providing up-to-date landing and other flying facilities for private executive, and other civil aircraft for the sub-region based on Sheffield; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. J. P. W. Mallalieu

My right hon. Friend has had no discussions with the Regional Economic Planning Councils on this matter. I understand the Yorkshire and Humberside Council await a report on aerodrome requirements in its region which has been commissioned by local authorities. The City of Sheffield has also commissioned reports on Sheffield's aerodrome requirements.
