HC Deb 16 July 1980 vol 988 cc547-8W
Mr. Clinton Davis

asked the Secretary of State for Trade if he will outline the policy of Her Majesty's Government in connection with proposals to phase out

what steps he is taking to see that such an incident does not occur again.

Mr. Tebbit

The pilot of a civil Fokker Friendship aircraft, operated by Air UK, filed an airmiss report following an incident in the Aberdeen area on Tuesday 8 July. The report is currently being investigated by the joint airmiss section of the National Air Traffic Services which will, when all known facts are available, determine whether any corrective action should be taken to minimise the chance of a recurrence. Inquiries are still being made and it has not yet been confirmed whether the other aircraft involved was civil or military.
