HC Deb 22 October 1969 vol 788 c289W
13. Mr. Hugh Jenkins

asked the President of the Board of Trade what consideration has been given by his Department to the possibility of an agreement with the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics whereby both countries would agree to each other's territory not being over-flown by supersonic passenger aircraft.

Mr. Goronwy Roberts

As the Government have not yet decided on its policy towards supersonic flights over the United Kingdom by aircraft in airline service, the question of agreements with other countries is premature.
