HC Deb 20 June 1995 vol 262 cc235-6W
Mr. Gordon Prentice

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence if he will place in the Library a copy of the final report by the RAF Police into the alleged low flying incident over Barnoldswick and Earby in January. [28814]

Mr. Soames

No. Service police reports are prepared for internal purposes and are considered confidential to the Ministry of Defence. However, the conclusions and summaries of the findings of RAF Police investigations into alleged breaches of low flying regulations are provided to those Members of Parliament or individuals who report the incidents to my Department.

In the case in question, the hon. Member was provided with this information during the Adjournment debate on low-flying military aircraft on 28 April, Official Report, column 1159 and in the letter of 7 June from my noble Friend, the Under-Secretary of State for Defence.
