Mr. Elystan Morgan

asked the Minister of State for Defence who authorised any supersonic flights over Cardiganshire in 1973.

Lord Lambton: Four flights, which formed part of an important trials programme, were authorised by my Department.

Mr. Elystan Morgan

asked the Minister of State for Defence if he will give an undertaking that no more supersonic flights over Cardiganshire will be authorised in the foreseeable future.
