HC Deb 21 May 1991 vol 191 c453W
Mr. Flynn

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence whether any assessment has been made of the consequences on the surrounding area and the local population of an aircraft crash on the arms dump at Caerwent, Gwent.

Mr. Kenneth Carlisle

There has been no such specific assessment. However, the base has a comprehensive plan for dealing with all types of emergency, particularly ones involving fire.

Mr. Flynn

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence if he will publish details of restrictions on flying near and over the arms dump at Caerwent, Gwent.

Mr. Kenneth Carlisle

There are no special restrictions on civil overflights of RAF Caerwent but military flying regulations take account of potential hazards at this and similar sites.
