HC Deb 14 May 1991 vol 191 c135W
Mrs. Margaret Ewing

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence by what means local authorities can have areas under their jurisdiction designated as avoidance areas for low-flying training purposes.

Mr. Kenneth Carlisle

Requests that low-flying military aircraft should avoid a particular location should be made direct to my Department giving a full justification. Each case is considered on its merits, but bearing in mind the considerations set out in the Government's reply—HC 659/90 page v—to the Defence Committee's report on low flying last year.
