HC Deb 23 October 1967 vol 751 cc398-9W
Sir Knox Cunningham

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether he is satisfied with the facilities provided for the setting down and taking up of passengers by motor cars at Aldergrove air terminal in County Antrim; what plans he has for their improvement; and if, in the interests of the travelling public, he will make a statement.

Mr. J. P. W. Mallalieu

When the road works now proceeding in front of the terminal building are completed during this coming winter, the facilities for the setting down and taking up of passengers should be fully adequate for the forecast traffic.

Sir Knox Cunningham

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether he is satisfied with the facilities provided for taxi cabs and cars for hire at Aldergrove air terminal in County Antrim; what plans he has for their improvement; and if, in the interests of the travelling public, he will make a statement.

Mr. J. P. W. Mallalieu

Facilities for taxis and hire cars have recently been much improved by the completion of the terminal building extension. A booking desk for taxis is being installed in the arrivals hall and when this is available the arrangements should be fully satisfactory.
