HC Deb 27 August 1968 vol 769 c291W
Mr. Onslow

asked the President of the Board of Trade what proposals he has to require aircraft crash recorders to be designed for higher standards of recoverability.

Mrs. Gwyneth Dunwoody

Consideration is being given to a requirement for flight data recorders fitted in future aircraft to have under-water separation, flotation and location devices. In addition, while the standard of protection of the recorded message is already of a high order, the Air Registration Board is reviewing with manufacturers the possibility of increasing this protection.
