Air Traffic Control

HC Deb 21 May 1969 vol 784 cc92-3W

64. Mr. Corfield

asked the President of the Board of Trade what consideration has been given to creating a single air traffic control authority responsible for both civil and military aircraft.

Mr. William Rodgers

The National Air Traffic Control Service, a joint civil-military organisation, was set up in December, 1962, to introduce a complete integration of air traffic control planning, and to develop and operate a common system of control for both civil and military traffic. I am not clear what else the hon. Gentleman may have in mind.
