HC Deb 28 February 1973 vol 851 cc389-90W
Mr. Crouch

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry if he will publish the figures, respectively, for the capital investment of the British Airports Authority at the airports under its control, and British Airways at British airports; and what estimates he has had from both these bodies for further investment at existing airports.

Mr. Onslow

As stated in the White Paper on Public Expenditure to 1976–77 (Cmnd. 5178), planned capital investment by the British Airports Authority will exceed £95 million in the period 1972–73 to 1976–77; most of this sum will be spent at Heathrow and Gatwick. Details of past investment have been published in the authority's annual report and accounts. Figures for the British Airways Board's investment at airports are not available.
