HC Deb 09 May 1967 vol 746 c187W
Rear-Admiral Morgan Giles

asked the Minister of Technology under what conditions he proposes that compensation should be payable to the owners of property damaged by sonic booms.

Mr. Benn

Claims for damage believed to have been caused by sonic bangs produced by aircraft under Ministry of Technology control are investigated by the Claims Commission of the Ministry of Defence. The Commission pays compensation when a claim can be substantiated.
