§ Mr. GummerTo ask the Secretary of State for Defence at what height RAF aircraft flew over the coast of Suffolk on 10 June 2003 in practising for the Queen's Birthday flypast; and at what distance they flew from the Sizewell nuclear power station. [125167]
§ Mr. CaplinThe aircraft flew between 2,300 and 3,000 feet above mean sea level. It is not possible to determine the precise distance that aircraft flew from the Sizewell nuclear power station but I am able to confirm that no aircraft breached the restricted area around the power station, which is a zone extending to a height of 2,000 feet high by a radius of two nautical miles
