§ Mr. Foulkesasked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what will be the arrangements for civilian use of the Falkland Islands airport; and how this will affect its use for all military and allied purposes.
§ Mr. RentonThe existing airport at Port Stanley is used both by the Royal Air Force and by the Falkland Islands Government Air Service. The detailed arrangements for the operation of the new airport under construction at Mount Pleasant are at present under discussion. They will reflect the fact that in addition to its military function, the airport will come to have an increasingly important civilian and developmental role.
