§ Mr. Adleyasked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry if he will issue a directive to the British Airports Authority to include the South-East within the studies it is presently engaged upon for a national airports policy.
§ Mr. OnslowI presume my hon. Friend is referring to the Civil Aviation Authority. The authority's booklet "Airport Planning: an Approach on a National Basis", published last month, sets out the action being taken in this context in regard to the South-East.
§ Mr. Adleyasked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry when he last had a discussion with the British Tourist Authority on airports policy.
§ Mr. OnslowWe have not had any discussion on this matter with the British Tourist Authority, but the authority as an independent statutory body gave evidence to the Roskill Commission.
