§ 38. Mr. Rentonasked the Secretary of State for the Environment what progress he has made in his consideration of the proportion of infrastructure costs that are to be borne by central Government in relation to the building of a second terminal at Gatwick airport.
§ Mr. Giles ShawThere have not so far been any requests from the local authorities concerned to discuss the question of infrastructure costs in relation to the building 459W of the second terminal at Gatwick airport. In any event, in the absence of details of the costs concerned, it would be premature to hold such discussions. I would add, however, that the costs of infrastructure within the environs of the airport will be borne by the British Airports Authority.
