HC Deb 11 November 1974 vol 881 cc3-4W
Mr. Ford

asked the Secretary of State for Trade (1) what estimate he has made of the cost of developing a regional airport in Yorkshire;

(2) what Government finance is available for the development of a Yorkshire regional airport;

(3) what sites have been proposed to him for the establishment of a Yorkshire regional airport; and if he will give details of his decisions thereupon.
