HC Deb 18 March 1969 vol 780 cc68-9W
Mr. Lubbock

asked the President of the Board of Trade what steps he is taking to apply to foreign-registered aircraft operating in the United Kingdom, regulations similar to those which limit the operation of United Kingdom registered aircraft in low visibility.

Mr. William Rodgers

The International Air Transport Association and the airlines which use United Kingdom airports are being informed of the proposal to extend to foreign-registered aircraft the general limit of minimum visibility set for the operation of United Kingdom registered aircraft which are not specially equipped for landing in lower visibilities. They are also being told of the proposal to extend to foreign-registered aircraft the ban on making an approach to land when the runway visualrange is below the operator's minimum. In accordance with normal practice they are being given the opportunity to make representations on the matter if they so wish before the necessary amendments to the regulations are made.
