70. Mr. Robert Hicks

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what increase or decrease there has been in the frequency of low flying military training aircraft in the Tamar valley; and if he will make a statement.

Records are not held of low flying military training activity over specific locations such as the Tamar valley. However, the total amount of low flying in the United Kingdom has been fairly constant in recent years.
