§ 36. Mr. AlexanderTo ask the Secretary of State for Transport how much the Civil Aviation Authority will invest in new air traffic control equipment and facilities over the next three years.
§ Mr. McLoughlinThe Civil Aviation Authority currently has plans to spend about £319 million on air traffic control equipment and facilities, in the three years 1990–91 to 1992–93. This includes expenditure on the new en route centre (a major new air traffic control centre for the southern part of the United Kingdom), and the central control function (a substantial reorganisation of southeastern airspace). Both these projects will lead to significant increases in airspace capacity.
