HC Deb 07 February 1972 vol 830 c245W
63. Mr. Rankin

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry if he will provide the British Airports Authority with adequate finance to meet the air traffic demands of their airports.

Mr. Noble

The Bill before Parliament to increase the statutory limit on the Authority's total borrowing from £70 million to £125 million should enable it to finance necessary developments to their existing airports for at least the next five years.
