HC Deb 12 November 1974 vol 881 c109W
Mr. MacCormick

asked the Secretary of State for Industry if he will take steps to ensure that future Concorde test flights will not overfly the islands and mainland of west Scotland.

Mr. Meacher

The West Coast route is the only one which combines the necessary technical and safety requirements with the minimum public disturbance, and a limited number of further flights along it will be needed.
