§ Mr. Bruceasked the Secretary of State for Defence if he will consider ways of enabling the Royal Air Force liaison officer assigned to civil air traffic control during a military exercise to intervene in the event of a potential near miss developing.
§ Mr. LeeNo. The liaison officer's role is to provide co-ordination between civil ATC and military operators. It would be impractical and potentially hazardous for him to attempt to control individual aircraft.
