HC Deb 16 February 1988 vol 127 c551W
Mr. Barry Field

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport how old the air traffic control radar on St. Boniface Down, Isle of Wight, is; what plans there are for its replacement and modernisation; what part this installation plays in preventing air near misses; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Peter Bottomley

Air traffic control services are the responsibility of the Civil Aviation Authority. I shall draw my hon. Friend's question to the attention of the authority's chairman.
