§ Mr. MulleyWe have had consultations with the French and American authorities regarding the problems arising from the operation of supersonic airliners, and we have also taken part in multilateral discussions in I.C.A.O. As regards the second part of the Question, while Governments around the world recognise that S.S.T. operations will require some special regulation, none has indicated to us that it will prohibit overflights.
