§ 51. Mr. Rankinasked the President of the Board of Trade what consideration he has given to the possibility of devolving the operation of the Highlands and Islands airports to a more locally-orientated organisation supported by Government grant; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. Goronwy RobertsWe are considering this and other related suggestions made in the Edwards Report. As the Report recognises, the future of these airports cannot be considered in isolation from that of the air services which they help to support.
