HC Deb 23 January 1967 vol 739 cc201-2W
Sir G. Sinclair

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government, in view of the action taken in the areas round Heathrow to require the incorporation of sound insulation in new buildings erected in noise sensitive zones, if he will press for similar action for the areas round Gatwick.

Mr. MacColl

The local planning authority responsible for the Gatwick area is well aware of its powers to impose conditions requiring sound insulation where this is appropriate to the development being permitted.
