HC Deb 25 November 1991 vol 199 c395W
11. Mr. Andrew F. Bennett

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport if he will make a statement about a rail link to Manchester airport from the south.

Mr. McLoughlin

The main market is to and from Manchester and other points to the north of the airport. That will be well served by the link which is currently under construction. I understand British Rail has no plans to build a southern spur to the rail link to Manchester airport at present.
