§ Mr. Stodartasked the President of the Board of Trade why he has not yet announced the results of his study of the agreement reached early this year between his Department and the British Airports Authority on the terms of transfer of Turnhouse Airport, Edinburgh: and when he plans to do so.
§ Mr. William RodgersThe agreement embraced plans for major development works estimated to cost upwards of £8 million and I have felt obliged to give these a particularly close scrutiny in order to be quite satisfied that public expenditure of this order is justified. An announcement will be made as soon as possible.
