HC Deb 25 May 1960 vol 624 c49W
73. Mr. W. Hamilton

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether, in view of recent developments, he will take steps to seek international agreement to a definition of the airspace of nations.

Mr. R. Allan

I hardly think this is necessary at present. The Chicago Convention, 1944 (Cmd. 8742) indicates where the lateral limits of the airspace of nations may be deemed to stand. As to the upward limit, I have nothing to add to the statement made by my right hon. and learned Friend the Lord Privy Seal in another place on 11th June.
