§ Mr. Geoffrey Lloydasked the President of the Board of Trade whether he will introduce legislation to regulate the fees chargeable to aircraft owners for the use of privately-owned licensed airfields and the conditions upon which such aircraft owners are permitted to use such airfields.
§ Mr. Goronwy RobertsIf the right hon. Gentleman will let me know what are the difficulties giving rise to his Question, we will consider what we can do to resolve them. We already have certain powers of control over charges at aerodromes licensed for public use.
§ Mr. Geoffrey Lloydasked the President of the Board of Trade what are the conditions upon which he licences privately-owned airfields: how often are such airfields inspected; and whether, under the Prices and Incomes Act, he has approved the scale of fees charged to owners of aircraft using such airfields.
§ Mr. Goronwy Roberts(1) The conditions are contained in Civil Air Publication No. 168.
(2) Normally annually.
155W(3) The voluntary early warning system has not been extended to such charges and they have not, therefore, fallen for consideration under the Prices and Incomes Act.
