§ 79. Mr. Kitsonasked the President of the Board of Trade what consideration he is giving to the designation of Tees-side Airport as a regional airport for the North of England; and whether he will make a statement.
§ Mr. William RodgersI am fully aware of the excellent potential of this airport and I am sure that it has an important part to play in the development of the North-East. The Board of Trade does not, however, designate airports in the way that the hon. Gentleman has in mind.
