Mr. Flight: To ask the Secretary of State for Transport (1) what the cost is of the software upgrade at Swanwick Air Traffic Control
Centre to be made by National Air Traffic Services as a result of the near-miss between a Virgin Atlantic and a Delta Airlines
aircraft in November 2002; [151781]
(2) what the value is of software that will become redundant at Swanwick Air Traffic Control Centre owing to the software upgrade to
be carried out as a result of the near-miss between a Virgin Atlantic and a Delta Airlines aircraft in November 2002; [151782]
(3) if he will list the spending on computer systems at the Swanwick Air Traffic Control Centre for each year since 1997. [151833]
Mr. McNulty: Spending on its computer systems is a matter for NATS. The incident in November 2002 has been assessed by the UK
Airprox Board--an independent body of experts--as carrying no risk of collision. It was the result of human error and the software
has been modified by NATS to preclude a repeat of such human error.
