HC Deb 21 February 1968 vol 759 cc133-4W
93. Mr. William Hamilton

asked the President of the Board of Trade what progress is being made with plans for the provision of a second runway at Turnhouse Airport.

Mr. J. P. W. Mallalieu

A survey completed by the Ministry of Public Building and Works last year confirmed the feasibility of a new runway on a site which is being safeguarded to the west of the present airport. Further progress is dependent on decisions now pending on the composition of the B.E.A. fleet.
