HC Deb 25 May 1989 vol 153 c729W
Mr. Redmond

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence on what date Skyguard fire control radar system will be implemented to register military aircraft flying below the permitted levels of operation; whether the information obtained will show the air forces concerned; where the information will be published; what disciplinary action will be enforced against offending pilots; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Neubert

The Skyguard fire control radar system will be deployed in the low flying monitoring role later this year. Apparent infringements of the regulations governing low-flying training by military aircraft using the United Kingdom low-flying system will be followed up as at present and appropriate action taken.

Mr. Redmond

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence if he will make a statement in respect of military jet aircraft overflying the village of Clayton in the Don Valley constituency, in which a transit area is in force, on 11 May at 1221 hours, 1509 hours and 1530 hours all of which were under 1,000 feet; and to what NATO air force these were attached.

Mr. Neubert

If the hon. Member would care to write to me with further details I should be happy to consider the matter.
