§ Mrs. Ewingasked the President of the Board of Trade whether he will take action on the failure of the British Airports Authority and the Glasgow Corporation to reach agreement to adjust the names of Prestwick Airport, internationally known as Glasgow Airport, and the municipal airport at Abbotsinch, known as Glasgow Airport, to remove the confusion caused to overseas passengers and travel agencies which is impeding the development of the tourist industry in Scotland.
Mr..J P. W. Mallalieu:I have seen no evidence that airline passengers are having difficulties over the names of these two airports, but, in so far as any confusion does exist, this could best be dissipated by airlines and travel agencies making the distinction clear to their clients. The official names—recognised internationally—are Prestwick and Glasgow.
