§ Mr. Maurice Macmillanasked the Secretary of State for Defence what is his best estimate in (a) deutschemarks and (b) £ sterling of the cost of improving the runways at RAF Gutersloh.
§ Mr. WellbelovedOur studies have shown that, by combining the task with routine runway maintenance work, the extra cost of developing RAF Gutersloh to accommodate heavy wide-bodied jets would be about DM 3 million, or approximately £0.75 million at current exchange rates. We have decided that this expenditure would be worth while and work is now scheduled to start in April 1978.
