HC Deb 26 June 1973 vol 858 c325W
Mr. Grimond

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what is Her Majesty's Government's policy towards a central Scottish airport.

Mr. Michael Heseltine

The Government have no proposals for establishing a central Scottish airport. Although the possibility has been considered on a number of occasions, particularly with a view to replacing the existing airports at Edinburgh, Glasgow and Prestwick, no feasible site has been found which could be developed economically.
