HC Deb 26 July 1938 vol 338 c2927W
Mr. Keeling

asked the Home Secretary whether he is aware that an aeroplane towing an advertisement streamer flew in the immediate vicinity of the garden of Buckingham Palace, where a large concourse of the public was assembled, on Monday afternoon, 18th July, without the permission of the Secretary of State for Air, which is required under the Air Navigation (Amendment) (No. 5) Order, 1937; and whether the Commissioner of Police is prosecuting the offender?

Earl Winterton

I am aware that an aeroplane was seen from the gardens of the Palace on the occasion mentioned, and I am informed by the Commissioner of Police of the Metropolis that the question whether an offence against the Air Navigation Order was committed is under investigation.
