asked the Under-Secretary of State for Air whether his attention has been drawn to the transgression of air navigation rules by the flying of a civil aeroplane on 30th September under the upper portion of Tower Bridge and Westminster Bridge; and what action his Department propose to take in the matter as regards this incident and the prevention of similar incidents in the future?

Yes, Sir; the police are in touch with the Air Ministry regarding the institution of proceedings against the pilot concerned for infringement of the Air Navigation Regulations.
