HC Deb 26 January 1972 vol 829 cc483-4W
Mr. Mudd

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry if he will list the powers conferred by the Civil Aviation Act, 1968, to prohibit commercial supersonic jets flying over the United Kingdom; and if he will draw the attention of potential purchasers of Concorde to these provisions of the Act.

Mr. Noble

Section 19 of the Act gives the necessary powers, the existence of which is well known.
