HC Deb 28 January 1964 vol 688 c41W
Mr. Lubbock

asked the Minister of Aviation what is the latest estimate of the average annual dose attributable to cosmic radiation received by a crew of a British Overseas Airways Corporation Boeing 707 aircraft operating in northerly latitudes; and if he will publish the evidence on which this estimate is based.

Mr. Amery

The position remains as stated in the Answer given to the hon. Member on 19th November, 1962. B.O.A.C.'s experience is similar to that of other airline operators.

Mr. Lubbock

asked the Minister of Aviation what medical history records are kept by the British Overseas Airways Corporation relating to the crews of Boeing 707 airliners operating in northerly latitudes; and to what extent these differ from those of the population in general.

Mr. Amery

This is a matter for the management of B.O.A.C. If the hon. Member will apply to the Corporation I understand they are ready to provide the information required.

Forward to
