HC Deb 12 December 1973 vol 866 cc170-1W
Mr. Tope

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry if he will introduce legislation to require small aircraft to be fitted with silencers as a condition of licensing.

Mr. Onslow

The International Civil Aviation Organisation has in preparation a scheme for the noise certification of light propeller-driven aeroplanes. This is already well advanced, and when it is completed I shall consider how it might be applied in the United Kingdom.
