Mr. Pawsey

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport how many representations he has received about noise and nuisance at Coventry airport over the past 12 months.

Mr. Norris

A total of 14.

Mr. Morley

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what is his policy in respect of prosecuting all those involved with each flight of calves from Coventry airport during November and December 1994 for not having the required export permit under the Air Navigation Order 1989.

Mr. Norris

[holding answer 20 January 1995]: An urgent inquiry is being conducted by my Department into the series of livestock flights by Air Algerie aircraft from Coventry airport in November and December last year. The inquiry will seek to determine whether there was any breach of the Air Navigation Order 1989. The question of further action will be decided once the outcome of the inquiry has been considered.
