HC Deb 24 July 1969 vol 787 c489W
Mr. Robert Howarth

asked the President of the Board of Trade what consideration he is giving to changes in the requirements for flight data recording and if he will make a statement.

Mr. William Rodgers

Technological developments have opened the possibility of increased use of flight data recording both in the investigation of accidents and to monitor the standard of flight safety achieved in aircraft operations. The Board of Trade is about to consult the industry regarding draft proposals which have been developed on these matters and in the light of these consultations will consider appropriate changes to the requirements.
