§ Sir D. Kaberryasked the Secretary of State for the Environment whether he will make a further statement on the Leeds / Bradford Airport.
§ Mr. Peter WalkerThe application for the extension of the runway at Yeadon airport has been determined and cannot be reopened. Although an applicant may always submit a fresh application, before doing so any such applicant would be well advised to consider whether circumstances have changed significantly.
I have suggested that the planning authorities in Yorkshire and Humberside should consider together the airport needs of the region and how these might best be met.
