HC Deb 16 February 1998 vol 306 cc501-2W
Mr. Wigley

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales if he will undertake a study of the future needs of air services and airports in Wales; and if he will make a statement. [28996]

Mr. Hain

I am currently undertaking a series of meetings with airport and airline owners and operators, including one based in Caernarfon, to assess the potential for establishing a scheduled air service between North and South Wales. Once these discussions have been concluded, I will consider what further work is necessary and how it might best be undertaken.
