HC Deb 27 June 2002 vol 387 cc978-9W
John Barrett

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, pursuant to the answer, on Prestwick, of 20 June 2002,Official Report, column 507W, what air traffic levels would make it financially prudent to commence further work at the new Scottish centre; and what current levels are. [64460]

Mr. Jamieson

The completion of the new Scottish centre depends on both air traffic levels and NATS' capital investment plan. Completion is expected to be during 2008 or 2009. NATS is currently engaged with suppliers in evaluating systems.

Air traffic movements in Scottish air space in the first 12 weeks of the current financial year total 122,627.
