§ 8. Wing-Commander Roland Robinsonasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether consideration is being given to regulating the flights of individual aircraft over Colonial territories which are deficient in landing facilities, with a view to minimising expensive and inconvenient searches for aircraft which make forced landings in uninhabited areas.
Mr. Creech JonesYes, Sir. All Colonial Governments have been asked to indicate whether they would wish, under the terms of Article 5 of the Convention 398 on International Civil Aviation concluded at Chicago in 1944, to exercise the right to prescribe routes to be followed by civil aircraft in their territories.
