§ Mr. Bruceasked the Secretary of State for Defence how many air misses have been reported in the current year by pilots of military aircraft over United Kingdom air space between military aircraft and civilian helicopters; and if he will provide details of dates, times and circumstances.
§ Mr. LeeI refer the hon. Member to the answer given on 10 April at column141 by my hon. Friend the Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Transport. One additional air miss report was submitted in April and was, similarly, reported in the first instance by the pilot of the civilian helicopter. Like the other reports, it will be investigated by the joint air miss working group.
