Mr. Speir

asked the Minister of Aviation what is the amount of the single largest claim for compensation for damage caused by aircraft breaking the sound barrier for which his Department has accepted responsibility; and what was the nature of the damage.

Mr. Marten

The largest claim of this kind for which the Ministry of Aviation has accepted responsibility was in respect of the loss of mare and foal at Llandyssul, Wales, in May 1963. The claim was settled at £300.
