asked the Secretary of State for Trade if he will list the tariffs currently faced by lathe manufacturers exporting to countries outside the EEC and the tariffs faced by those countries when exporting to this country.

Examples of the tariff rates applicable to machine tools, which would generally includes lathes, for some of the countries outside the EEC with which we have a substantial trade are as follows:on future airport development in South Wales and the South-West of England; and if he will make a statement.

The Civil Aviation Authority's advice has now been submitted to me, and has been published today with my agreement. This completes the Authority's advice on airport developments outside the South-East of England, and together with the previous advice on airport development in the Northern Region and in central England will be taken into account in the preparation of Part II of the consultation document "Airport Strategy for Great Britain". This document will provide the basis for consultations with local authorities, airport operators, amenity groups and others concerned with airport development on the future rĂ´le of airports outside the London area. I hope to publish it shortly after Easter.
