HC Deb 13 July 1970 vol 803 c118W
Mr. Chichester-Clark

asked the Minister of Technology what further test flights of supersonic aircraft are planned to take place over Northern Ireland; and what warnings of supersonic booms have been issued.

Mr. David Price

Parts of Counties Antrim and Down, together with Belfast, will be affected by the sonic boom from Concorde's test flights along the west coast route. Advance warning will be given before these flights begin, and the Press and radio and television services will be informed when individual flights are planned.
