§ Mr. Albert Robertsasked the Secretary of State for Trade if he will give an estimate of the present-day cost of constructing a transcontinental airport with full facilities comparable to Manchester airport, and of the length of time it would take to construct such an airport.
§ Mr. Clinton DavisNo estimate is available of the cost of building a new airport comparable to Manchester airport, but it could approach £100 million at present-day prices. It could take up to 10 years to provide.
