HC Deb 17 January 1968 vol 756 c578W
78. Mr. Fortescue

asked the President of the Board of Trade (1) what consideration he is giving to the airports to be used by Concorde when in service; and if he will make a statement;

(2) to what extent he has considered the use of Liverpool Airport as a base for the transatlantic operations of Concorde; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. J. P. W. Mallalieu:

It is for the airlines purchasing the Concorde to decide which of the airports they are authorised to serve they wish to use for operations with this aircraft, taking into account the facilities which are or can be made available. So far as I am aware no airline is proposing to operate Concorde from Liverpool Airport.
