HC Deb 05 May 1936 vol 311 c1544W
Mr. DAY

asked the Home Secretary whether his attention has been drawn to the continual low flying by aeroplanes over the Wembley Stadium on Saturday afternoon, 25th April; and can he state whether the Metropolitan Police authorities intend to take any action to prevent a recurrence of such incidents?

Mr. LLOYD

The flying which took place in the vicinity of Wembley Stadium on the 25th April did not, in the opinion of the police, call for any action on their part. The police have no power to prohibit a projected flight, but if it appeared that a projected flight would involve breaches of the law they would consult the Air Ministry as to the measures to be taken.
