§ Mr. McQuarrieasked the Secretary of State for Transport if he will list all the United Kingdom airports for which he is the sponsoring Minister; if he will list their owners, and for each airport, respectively, the number of passengers that have passed through them in the latest available year, the number of traffic movements, and their revenue, broken down into the major constituent parts and their profit or loss, saying whether this takes account of current cost accounting.
§ Mr. David MitchellThere are over 200 licensed aerodromes in the United Kingdom—the majority of which are privately owned — for which I am the sponsoring Minister. They are as follows. I regret that the information sought concerning their operations is not readily available and could be obtained only at disproportionate cost.
