Mr. Niall Burgess:
That would not affect the exercise of sovereign immunity. In each of the cases we have been discussing here, the Government is required to give its assent to the overflight or landing under specific circumstances, and that assent could be declined. Permission could be refused but I am not aware of any cases in the recent past that I can draw on.
