HC Deb 18 December 1958 vol 597 c222W
91. Mr. Hunter

asked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation what progress has been made with the earth banks to baffle noise at London Airport; and whether he will give an approximate date for their completion.

Mr. Neave

In No. 2 Maintenance Area the earth bank for one of the leased areas will be completed this winter and planning for others is proceeding. Negotiations with Middlesex County Council for the purchase of the land required for earth banks around the No. 1 Maintenance Area have raised certain problems and I am not yet able to say when the work will be done.
