HC Deb 14 November 1968 vol 773 cc135-6W
60. Mr. Dalyell

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what calculation he has made of the effect of inadequate facilities at Edinburgh Airport on the long-term growth of the Scottish economy.

Mr. Ross

The further development of the airport is a matter for my right hon. Friend the President of the Board of Trade, with whom I am in close and continuous touch.
