HC Deb 14 November 1973 vol 864 c172W
Mr. John Morris

asked the Minister of State for Defence how many low flying military aircraft, including the United States Air Force, have flown in each of the last six months over the steelworks at Port Talbot and the BP chemical plant, respectively, at low levels; and what safety precautions are taken.

Mr. Kershaw

Service aircraft should not fly at less than 2,000 feet above ground level over the town of Port Talbot or at less than 1,000 feet in the general vicinity. Numbers flying over particular points above that height could not be calculated without disproportionate effort.
