§ 37. Mr. DAYasked the Under-Secretary of State for Air whether he has received any recent complaints about the activities of low-flying aircraft on Sundays; and whether complaints have been made to his Department as to the breach of regulations under the Air Navigation Order?
§ The UNDER-SECRETARY of STATE for AIR (Mr. Montague)One or two such complaints have recently been received. In my reply to a question by the right hon. Member for Hendon (Sir P. Cunliffe-Lister) on 2nd July last, I outlined the action which the Air Ministry has taken to minimise the inconvenience to residents and to prohibit any avoidable low-flying.
§ Captain Sir WILLIAM BRASSIs the hon. Gentleman satisfied that these complaints are real complaints against low flying, and are not merely due to machines taking off?
§ Mr. HAYCOCKIs not any flying on Sundays a breach of the Lords Day Observance Act?
§ Mr. MONTAGUEI am satisfied that these complaints are properly gone into, and we are doing everything we can to minimise inconvenience.
