HC Deb 21 October 1968 vol 770 cc215-6W
Mr. Edward M. Taylor

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what estimate he has made of the loss and inconvenience which will be experienced in the West of Scotland in consequence of the proposed closure of Glasgow Airport.

Mr. Ross

None. The consequences of the regrettable situation at Glasgow Airport are not quantifiable.

Mr. Edward M. Taylor

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will now call a conference of the parties involved in the Glasgow Airport dispute with a view to preventing the closure of the airport.

Mr. Ross

Any request by the parties for a meeting with Ministers would be given sympathetic consideration in the light of the circumstances then prevailing.
