HC Deb 25 July 1972 vol 841 cc271-2W
68. Mr. Winterton

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what estimates have been made by his Department of the numbers of people in the United Kingdom who will be subjected to sonic bangs by Concorde on British Overseas Airways Corporation's proposed routes to Johannesburg, Sydney, and Tokyo, as part of his consideration of whether to allow supersonic flight over the United Kingdom.

Mr. Michael Heseltine

The routes proposed by BOAC would not entail any part of the United Kingdom experiencing a sonic boom.
