HC Deb 16 February 1981 vol 999 cc7-8W
Mr. Speller

asked the Secretary of State for Trade what representations he has made to British Airways and Air France asking them to ensure that Concorde reverts to subsonic speed by the time it overflies North Devon.

Mr. Eyre

No such representations have been necessary. Present operational procedures ensure that Concorde reverts to subsonic speed well before it reaches land. I draw my hon. Friend's attention to the answers I have given today to my hon. Friend the Member for Falmouth and Camborne (Mr. Mudd).
