HC Deb 01 November 1979 vol 972 c645W
Dr. Edmund Marshall

asked the Secretary of State for Defence what is the average number of military aircraft which fly low over the town of Knottingley, West Yorkshire, during the 24 hours of a normal weekday.

Mr. Pattie

Military pilots are instructed to avoid flying below 2,000 feet over Knottingley. If the hon. Member has any evidence that this rule is not being observed and cares to forward it to me, my Department will make a full investigation.
