HL Deb 11 December 1980 vol 415 c865WA
Lord Melchett

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether they will confirm that a helicopter was used during the police operation at Cantlin Stone, Shropshire between the 4th and 14th of July 1980 and if so, for what purpose and at what cost.

Lord Belstead

I understand from the Chief Constable of West Mercia Constabulary that a helicopter was used during the police operation at Cantlin Stone, Shropshire, on two occasions between the 4th and 14th July, 1980. The helicopter was on routine police work and no extra cost was involved.
