§ Mr. Peter DuncanTo ask the Secretary of State for Defence what percentage of UK airspace is reserved for use by exclusively military aircraft. [78724]
§ Mr. JamiesonI have been asked to reply.
182WThere is no part of UK airspace reserved for the exclusive use of military aircraft. There are some danger areas, primarily firing ranges, where entry is prohibited to all aircraft, civil and military. The airspace affected amounts to approximately 0.015 per cent. of UK airspace. There are other danger areas where access is permitted under certain conditions, amounting to a further 0.83 per cent. of UK airspace.
