§ Captain Kerbyasked the Secretary of State for Air if emergency arrangements such as the guarding of civil and military aircraft by Royal Air Force personnel are still being maintained at the Royal Air Force Station at Khormaksar; if he will give an assurance that such security measures will be continued until it is certain that there is no further risk to aircraft or to civil and military passengers; and whether British security personnel have orders to search all outgoing civil aircraft.
Mr. FraserThe Royal Air Force is responsible for guarding military aircraft at Khormaksar. This is a continuous commitment which was in being before the recent incidents. The Aden Government provides airport police for the civil air terminal. The Royal Air Force has no responsibility for searching civil aircraft using the airfield.
