HC Deb 16 July 1990 vol 176 c452W
Mr. Bill Walker

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment what guidance he issues to district councils on the weight to be given to air safety in considering planning applications from gliding clubs and similar organisations.

Mr. Moynihan

My Department has issued no guidance on this matter. Statutory responsibility for safety regulation of United Kingdom civil aviation rests with the Civil Aviation Authority.
