HC Deb 22 March 1985 vol 75 c621W
Sir Hector Monro

asked the Secretary of State for Defence what plans he has to impose restrictions on RAF training flying time during 1985–86; and what assessment he has made of the implications for pilot training courses.

Mr. Lee

In order to help contain RAF expenditure within the funding available for 1985–86 it will be necessary to impose some restrictions on general flying acivities. While this may necessitate some adjustment to the timing and content of certain flying training courses, the essential throughput of crews to the front line will be maintained.
