Sir Anthony Royleasked the Lord Privy Seal if the present airport in Hong Kong is large enough to cope with the increased traffic of the 1980s; what study is being made of the possibility of the construction of a second airport; when he anticipates decisions will be reached; and if he will make a statement.
