§ Mr. Kelleyasked the Secretary of State for Air if he will instruct the Royal Air Force Station, Finningley, to prepare plans for future flying practice which will enable aircraft returning to base to approach the runway over open country at Blaxton, instead of the present arrangement which requires aircraft to do low banking over the houses of that village, causing disturbance at night to the residents.
§ Mr. H. FraserI regret that it would not be practicable to seek to reduce the disturbance referred to by issuing such instructions. Blaxton is directly in line with, and only three quarters of a mile from, the runway at Royal Air Force Finningley. Aircraft landing from the north-east must therefore pass over the village.
