§ Mr. McQuarrieasked the Secretary of State for Transport what action he proposes to take in the light of the report by the accident investigation board into an incident at Aberdeen airport in February 1986; if he will have discussions on the matter with the appropriate authorities regarding safety on landing or take off by aircraft when runway lights are necessary; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. Michael Spicer[pursuant to his reply, 11 June 1986, c. 192]: As civil aviation safety is solely the statutory responsibility of the Civil Aviation Authority, I have asked the chairman of the authority to write to my hon. Friend.
