HC Deb 23 July 1982 vol 28 c336W
38. Mr. Robert Hughes

asked the Secretary of State for Defence if he is satisfied with the liaison between military air traffic controllers and civil aircraft controllers in the light of the incident on or about 9 July, when the air controller at Dyce airport, Aberdeen, was compelled to instruct civil aircraft to ensure their own separation due to the unannounced presence of military aircraft; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Wiggin

The alleged incident is being investigated by the controller of the National Air Traffic Services. This may take some time, but I shall write to the hon. Member when it has been completed.
