§ 43. Mr. Awberyasked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation if he will in all cases consult representatives of the 384 air pilots on the possible dangers before agreeing to the erection of tall television masts within a radius of five miles from an aerodrome.
§ Mr. WatkinsonYes, Sir, on those occasions when the erection of a mast is likely to infringe the internationally agreed standards and procedures.
§ Mr. AwberyIs the Minister aware that my information is that the pilots have not been considered, and that as a result 158 hours have been spent in the air unnecessarily because of the Wenvoe mast; and, as £ 6,000 has been wasted, will he now consult with these men before a mast is erected in the neighbourhood?
§ Mr. WatkinsonI answered the hon. Gentleman's Question. If he wants to ask a Question about the Wenvoe mast, and will put one down, I will answer it.
