asked the Minister of Aviation if he will take steps to beautify Aberdeen Airport by exhibiting there pictures or other illustrations of distinguished aviators and their exploits.

I consider this suggestion to be a very useful one indeed and I will consider the proposal.

Is the Minister aware the Scottish travellers retain their aesthetic tastes and sense of history even while waiting to board a plane? Will he therefore reconsider this?

I do not hope to reconsider my reply, because it was that I was going to consider the proposal. I hope that, if this can be adopted at Aberdeen, it may also be applied at some other airports for which we are responsible so as to improve the amenities, as suggested.
