Mr. Andrew F. Bennett

asked the Minister for Trade whether he has had discussions with Manchester international airport committee and the EEC about establishing a freeport at Manchester airport.

Dr. Vaughan

During the visit of my hon. Friend to Manchester airport on 22 June the management expressed interest in the establishment of a freeport at the airport. There have been no discussions of this issue either with the Commission or with other member States.
