§ 9. Mr. LOVAT-FRASERasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many people were prosecuted for low flying over prohibited areas during 1932?
§ The SECRETARY of STATE for the HOME DEPARTMENT (Sir John Gilmour)The police have instructions to report to the Air Ministry all cases of low flying over the prohibited areas which are scheduled in the Air Navigation Order, and I understand that no such case was so reported in 1932. There were in 1932 a number of prosecutions in respect of low flying over populous places contrary to Articles 9 and 10 of the Air Navigation Order. There were two such cases in the Metropolitan Police District, but I am not in a position to give the corresponding figure for the country as a whole.
