Mr. WardThe answer to both parts of the Question is, "Yes, Sir." The mast has been fitted with red obstruction lights.
§ Mr. AwberyIs the Under-Secretary aware that this mast is only four miles from an airfield and that it is 950 feet high? Is he certain that it is not a danger for those using the airfield, and will be institute radar as well as lights to indicate that the mast is there?
Mr. WardThe nearest R.A.F. airfield is seven miles away. There is a civil aerodrome nearer, but questions about that should be addressed to my right hon. Friend the Minister of Civil Aviation.
