§ Miss WiddecombeTo ask the Secretary of State for Transport what plans he has to introduce controls to separate hobby parachutists' landing areas and those of aircraft landing or taking off.
§ Mr. Peter BottomleyThe air accidents investigation branch, assisted by the British Parachute Association, is investigating the recent accident in which a parachutist fell onto a taxiing aircraft and was killed. The investigation will determine whether the current controls were applied and whether they are adequate. The introduction of any further controls will depend on the recommendation arising from the accident investigation.
