§ Mr. RendelTo ask the Secretary of State for Defence how many over-flights in the controlled airspace of Aldermaston have been recorded for each year since 2001 for which figures are available; and how many prosecutions have followed. [132659]
§ Mr. CaplinSince 2001 there have been three alleged incursions by military aircraft into the restricted airspace around AWE Aldermaston. The RAF Police Defence Flying Complaints Investigation Team investigated all these incidents and in each case it was found that no breach of the restriction had occurred. Alleged incursions of the restricted airspace by civilian aircraft would be the responsibility of my right hon. Friend, the Secretary of State for Transport.
