Royal Flights (Hansard, 6 July 1988)

HC Deb 06 July 1988 vol 136 c588W 588W

§ Mr. Colvin
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport when he last reviewed the purple airspace rules for royal flights.

Mr. Bottomley
The Civil Aviation Authority is responsible, through the national air traffic services, a joint CAA and Ministry of Defence organisation, for all aspects of air traffic control.
The purple airspace rules for royal flights were last reviewed in 1985 and found to be satisfactory by both the Queen's flight and the national air traffic services.
The next review is scheduled for later this year.
