HC Deb 26 November 1986 vol 106 c271W
18. Mr. Allan Stewart

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what estimate he has made of the economic impact in Scotland of the proposed development of Glasgow airport.

Mr. Rifkind

The British Airports Authority considers the proposed expansion of facilities at the airport necessary in the context of the substantial increase expected in existing European traffic over the next 10 years. Such a development can only be of benefit to Strathclyde and to Scotland as a whole.
