HC Deb 19 June 1972 vol 839 c13W
Dr. Marshall

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry at which level of local government are the appropriate local authorities for formulating proposals for a new regional airport for Yorkshire and Humberside.

Mr. Onslow

Any local authority may, with the consent of the Minister, provide an aerodrome. I understand the Leeds, Bradford and West Riding authorities are considering the question of air transport facilities in Yorkshire in consultation with the Humberside and Yorkshire local authorities.
