HC Deb 25 July 1960 vol 627 c92W
76. Mr. Gough

asked the Minister of Aviation what facilities exist for Customs clearance of private aircraft owners not in possession of radio for entering or leaving this country via south-eastern England on any week day after 6 p.m.; and what steps he proposes to take to increase them.

Mr. Sandys

Facilities are available at Southend airport subject to prior permission of the airport authority. In the summer months facilities are also available until 8 p.m. at Shoreham by prior permission.

The Standing Joint Committee on Private and Club Flying is considering this difficult problem and I will write to my hon. Friend when I have received and considered the Committee's advice.
