20. Sir Anthony Meyer

asked tit Secretary of State for Transport how many international destinations are served from regional airports now; and what was the figure for 1979.

Mr. Michael Spicer

Some 60 international destinations are served from regional airports in the United Kingdom, compared with about 40 in 1979. I greatly welcome this major increase in travel opportunities for the public.
