Whereas the Secretary of State for Transport, for a reason affecting the public interest, deemed it necessary in the public interest to restrict flying in the vicinity of Gruinard Island, Ross and Cromarty by reason of its contamination with anthrax spores; and

Whereas Gruinard Island has been successfully decontaminated the Secretary of State for Transport no longer deems it necessary in the public interest to restrict flying in that area:

1.  These Regulations may be cited as the Air Navigation (Restriction of Flying) (Gruinard Island) (Revocation) Regulations 1989 and shall come into force forthwith.
