HC Deb 15 March 1967 vol 743 c124W
103. Mr. Robert Cooke

asked the Minister of Technology whether he will demonstrate sonic boom over the Palace of Westminster at a time convenient to hon. Members, so that they may assess its effect in the field of civil aviation.

Mr. Stonehouse

An exercise enabling hon. Members to hear sonic bangs was staged at Upwood in April, 1965. As I said during the Adjournment Debate on 3rd February, the Government are considering proposals for fuller tests of the effect of sonic bangs, and I will bear the hon. Member's suggestion in mind.
