HC Deb 27 October 1992 vol 212 c609W
25. Mr. David Nicholson

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence if he will make a statement on changes in the occurrence of low-flying training since 1 January 1990; what changes he proposes in the near future; and what changes he proposes in the arrangements to inform the public and deal with complaints.

Mr. Archie Hamilton

We expect to cut the amount of jet low flying in the United Kingdom by about 30 per cent. by the end of 1994. The appointment earlier this year of regional community relations officers for the Lake district and the Borders has provided the public in those areas with a focal point for their inquiries on low-flying matters. The management of the United Kingdom low-flying system is kept under constant review and changes are made when necessary.
