§ 26. Mr. Bob RussellTo ask the Secretary of State for International Development when she expects to make an announcement about the provision of an airfield on the island of St. Helena. [95605]
§ Clare ShortThe results of a preliminary study into the technical and regulatory feasibility of establishing air access to St. Helena are currently under consideration. I am aware of the strong lobby for air access but the costs are considerable and obviously not feasible unless the provision of such facilities can provide an economic return.
