HC Deb 21 July 1955 vol 544 cc69-70W
72. Mr. Chapman

asked the Under-Secretary of State for Air if he has now traced the jet aircraft which, on Sunday, 17th July, flew low over Cromwell Lane, Bartley Green, Birmingham, and nearby areas, terrorising the inhabitants; what action he is taking against the pilots concerned; and what compensation he is offering for the personal injuries and damage to property.

Mr. Ward

Inquiries into this incident are still proceeding. When they have been completed I will write to the hon. Member. Any claims for compensation for injury or damage caused by Royal Air Force aircraft will, of course, be fully investigated.
