§ 106. Mr. Moateasked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry if he will give an assurance that the ban on night time take-offs from Heathrow Airport 382W is not part of a general policy designed ultimately to transfer the noise nuisance to Essex and Kent by concentrating night flights at the proposed Foulness Airport.
§ Mr. NobleThe ban on summer jet take-offs at night from Heathrow is intended to give immediate relief to an area where the noise problem is at its worst. Foulness is unlikely to be operational before 1980 and the regime for night flying there can be determined nearer this date.
