HC Deb 17 February 1976 vol 905 c629W
Mr. Brotherton

asked the Secretary of State for Trade if he will estimate the benefit to the British Airport Authority's finances derived from the rents from duty free shops situated on British Airports Authority land.

Mr. Clinton Davis

The British Airport Authority is responsible for negotiation of the concessions for the duty free shops at its airports. I understand it is the policy of the Authority not to publish details of income it receives from these concessions, but its Report and Accounts for 1974–75 shows that total income in that year from all trading concessions was £17,171,000.
