HC Deb 28 April 1967 vol 745 c354W
Mr. Geraint Morgan

asked the Secretary of State for Defence, whether he is aware of the concern felt by sheep farmers in the Mynydd Hiraethog area about the harm that may be caused to their flocks during the coming summer as a result of Army exercises and, in particular, the use of low-flying military helicopters; and whether he will take steps to ensure that the least possible damage is occasioned by any exercises in the area.

Mr. Boyden

Yes. Low-flying is kept to a minimum. We are aware of the sheep farmers' concern and in planning and carrying out each flight we take care to avoid their flocks as much as possible.
