HC Deb 14 July 1954 vol 530 c26W
21. Major McCallum

asked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation if, now that the restrictions for helicopter flying have been modified for the London area, he will permit helicopter flying between the mainland of the Western Highlands of Scotland and certain islands of the Inner and Outer Hebrides.

Mr. Profumo

Single-engined helicopters are not suitable for this area where conditions would be likely to limit severely the occasions and the routes on which passengers could be carried with adequate safety.
