HC Deb 21 October 1991 vol 196 cc453-4W
Mr. Kennedy

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence if he will assess the likely decrease in overall low flying throughout the Scottish Highlands during the next three year period; if he will clarify to what extent the different types of aircraft to which he referred will undertake low flying sorties there over the same period; if he will give further information as to the impact of his policy announcement upon the level and nature of low flying sorties associated with the Tain bombing range, Ross-shire; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Kenneth Carlisle

It is not possible to say how the proposed changes in low flying will affect individual areas, but our aim will continue to be to spread the burden of low-flying training as fairly and as widely as possible.
