HC Deb 21 November 1963 vol 684 cc131-2W
71. Mr. Hunter

asked the Minister of Education what action he is taking to assist schools near London Airport who are affected by aircraft noise to provide sound insulation.

Mr. Chataway

My right hon. Friend has agreed that a new school to be built near London Airport should be fully protected against the noise of aircraft. He is about to discuss the question of soundproofing existing schools with the Middlesex local education authority, which has carried out a pilot experiment on this problem.
