Sinclairasked the President of the Board of Trade, in view of the rapid increase of air passenger traffic at Gatwick in 1967 and future prospects, what proposals he has for developing between now and 1970 further minimum noise procedure and installing fixed noise monitoring equipment at Gatwick comparable to that at Heathrow.
