HC Deb 27 January 1971 vol 810 c141W
107. Mr. Stokes

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry whether he will explain how the total cost of the Commission on the third London airport, namely £1,131,000, was made up; and whether he has any proposals for changing the basis on which such expenses are allowed.

Mr. Anthony Grant

Details of the make-up of the estimated cost of the Commission's work are given on page 165 of the Report. This amounts to £1.12 million. To this must be added the estimated cost of printing and publishing, £11,000—page (ii) at the beginning of the Report. We have no proposals for changing the basis on which expenses are allowed.
