Mr. Alan Lee Williamsasked the Secretary of State for Defence whether he will review RAF flight safety measures.
§ Mr. WellbelovedFlight safety is kept under continuous review by the Air Force Board, and we are constantly seeking ways in which safety can be improved. We have decided very recently, for example, to establish an Inspectorate of Flight Safety.
We have for many years had in the Royal Air Force a Directorate of Flight 622W made within NATO to achieve an easy to recognise system for standard markings or colour codes for equipment.
§ Dr. GilbertNATO policy, in the execution of which the United Kingdom is playing a full part, is to develop standard markings or colour codes appropriate to specific ranges of equipment. Good progress has been achieved in many fields, including the marking of vehicles, aircraft and ammunition.
