HC Deb 14 January 1985 vol 71 c47W
11. Mr. Thurnham

asked the Secretary of State for Transport if he has had recent consultations about the expansion of profitable regional airports.

Mr. Michael Spicer

We have had consultations with a number of regional airports about their development plans. I am engaged in a programme of visits to most of the major regional airports over the next two or three months. I recently announced new capital expenditure allocations for the expansion of a number of regional airports.
