§ Mr. Lubbockasked the President of the Board of Trade if he will circulate in the OFFICIAL REPORT a list of airports with landing facilities below International Civil Aviation Organisation standards which are currently used by British airlines.
§ Mr. J. P. W. MallalieuI regret that it is not possible to compile a list such as the hon. Member requests. I.C.A.O. has established a number of standards regarding the physical characteristics of airports and matters such as lighting, equipment and services but it should be understood that local differences from these standards do not necessarily mean that an airport is sub-standard for safe operation of any or all types of service.
