§ Mr. Whitakerasked the Minister of Technology whether he will take further 184W steps to induce aircraft manufacturers to spend more money on research to reduce aircraft noise.
§ Mr. StonehouseFurther to the information which I gave to the hon. Member for Torrington (Mr. Peter Mills) on 6th June, the Department contributed approximately three-quarters of the cost of the important new Laboratory at Ansty which I opened last month and which will permit further research on aircraft engine noise. All these measures will, I hope, help the aircraft industry to increase its efforts to develop quieter aircraft.
