§ Sir Knox Cunninghamasked the President of the Board of Trade if he will state the numbers of passengers handled at Aldergrove Civil Airport in County Antrim, travelling to or from 123W countries outside the United Kingdom and those travelling within the United Kingdom, respectively, during the preceding three years; and the estimated numbers in both categories, respectively, which are expected to use Aldergrove Civil Airport in 1968, 1969 and 1970, respectively.
§ Mr. J. P. W. MallalieuPassenger traffic at Aldergrove in the last three years was:
(thousands) Year International Domestic Total* 1965 … 19 842 860 1966 … 23 971 995 1967 … 23 960 983 * Discrepancies between totals and the sum of their constituent items are due to rounding. The average rate of increase in the last five years has been rather more than 10 per cent. Expansion at about this rate is expected to be resumed after little increase this year.
