§ Mr. William Hamiltonasked the President of the Board of Trade what has been the capital expenditure at each airport in the United Kingdom in each of the last 10 years; and what are the estimates for the current financial year.
§ Mr. Goronwy Roberts:The following table shows the figures, where available, of the capital expenditure for each of the last eight financial years and the estimates for the current financial year at Board of Trade, British Airports Authority and local authority civil airports in the United Kingdom. I have no information regarding capital expenditure at private airports. It has not been possible, without disproportionate cost in the time available, to obtain figures for 1960 and 1961.
Following is the information:
