HC Deb 08 December 1988 vol 143 c284W
Mr. Tony Banks

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if any emergency plans are being prepared for the possibility of the Solar Maximum satellite crashing on(a) London or (b) elsewhere in the United Kingdom.

Mr. John Patten

I understand that current assessments indicate that there is no risk of Solar Maximum, which is not nuclear powered, crashing on the United Kingdom and specific plans are not therefore being prepared.
