HC Deb 17 June 1981 vol 6 c364W
Mr. Wigley

asked the Secretary of State for Trade what percentage of the money spent on developing airports in the United Kingdom over the last five years has been spent in Wales.

Mr. Eyre

Figures for total capital expenditure on airports in the United Kingdom are not available. Expenditure on airports by local authorities in Wales in the last five years represented about 0.7 per cent. of such expenditure by all local authorities in Great Britain. This period excludes the very substantial expenditure incurred in redeveloping Cardiff-Wales airport between 1965 and 1973.
