HC Deb 09 July 1970 vol 803 c102W
Mr. Skeet

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether he is now prepared to authorise moneys to be spent on the development of Birmingham Airport which is seeking expansion, in view of the new exhibition hall that is to be built near the city and of the growing requirements of the city's air transportation.

Mr. Corfield

Birmingham Corporation has not as yet submitted any firm proposals to the Board for the further development of its airport. Before doing so I understand that the Corporation intends to commission a cost/benefit and feasibility study of possible developments.
