HC Deb 24 June 1988 vol 135 c731W
Mr. Batiste

To ask the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster what estimate he has made of the likely impact on industry in Yorkshire of an extension of operating hours at Leeds-Bradford airport.

Mr. Atkins

Both the Association of Yorkshire and Humberside Chambers of Commerce and the Yorkshire region of the Confederation of British Industry have recently supported the case for extension of operating hours at the airport. I see no reason to doubt that an extension would be of benefit to industry in the region.
