HC Deb 06 July 1978 vol 953 cc247-8W
Mr. John Hunt

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what are the reasons for the continuing delay in his Department's confirmation of the by-laws submitted by the London borough of Bromley in respect of model aircraft flying in parks; and when he now expects the matter to be finalised.

Dr. Summerskill

On 2nd May Bromley borough council sent the Home Office a fresh draft of byelaws for its parks and Government's proposals for the future open spaces, which include a revised provision for the control of model aircraft. This and other changes from the byelaws submitted last year give rise to a number of points which have had to be taken up with the council in correspondence. I hope that they can be resolved fairly soon.
