HC Deb 09 April 1962 vol 657 c90W
Mr. Cronin

asked the Minister of Aviation what arrangements he now intends to make for the operational licensing of hovercraft.

Mr. Woodhouse

Hovercraft operations, which are still in the development stage, are being authorised by permits to fly under the Air Navigation Order. My right hon. Friend proposes to exempt them from the requirement for an air service licence under the Civil Aviation (Licensing) Act, 1960.
