§ 62. Mr. Hugh Jenkinsasked the President of the Board of Trade if he is aware that the Governments of West Germany and Switzerland have prohibited supersonic overflying of their countries; and if he will take steps to protect the people of this country in the same way.
§ Mr. J. P. W. MallalieuMy information is that neither Government have announced an outright prohibition of supersonic flights but that both are considering the matter. As stated in reply to my hon. Friend's Question on 29th March, we too are considering what restrictions, if any, should be placed on flights by supersonic aircraft over the United Kingdom.—[Vol. 761, c. 347.]
