HC Deb 13 April 1989 vol 150 c648W
Mr. Home Robertson

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence how many military pilots have been subject to disciplinary proceedings for breaches of the regulations concerning the height and speed of flights over the United Kingdom during the past two years.

Mr. Neubert

One military pilot has been subject to formal disciplinary proceedings for breach of the regulations concerning the height of flights during the past two years. This was a Royal Air Force pilot who was charged with unlawful low flying. Less severe infringements of low flying regulations, which have provisions covering both the height and speed of low level flights, are dealt with by informal procedures.
