§ 58. Mr. Onslowasked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what estimate he has made of the effect on employment in Shetland, directly and indirectly, of opening the airport at Sum-burgh on Sundays during the summer months; and what calculation he has made of the cost of taking on the necessary extra staff.
§ Mr. NobleTo open Sumburgh aerodrome for B.E.A. scheduled services during the summer months would cost about £11,000 a year for the five additional staff required. Some of them could probably be recruited locally and given the necessary training. Any effect on employment generally in Shetland is difficult to assess.
