§ Mr. Kinnockasked the Minister of State for Defence what is the cost to public funds of his Department's investigations of the sighting of the pulsating unidentified flying objects reported to his Department by Mr. and Mrs. Lockhart 186W of Downs Park Road, Hackney, on 21st November.
§ Mr. LambtonThe investigations into unidentified flying objects are handled as a normal defence function and the only extra cost to public funds is that of the staff involved in handling reports and inquiries in Ministry of Defence Headquarters. In 1969, the last period for which complete statistics are available, the average cost of answering each inquiry was about £9.
