HC Deb 19 July 1968 vol 768 cc288-9W
Mr. Boston

asked the President of the Board of Trade (1) what studies have been made, and are being made, into the economic effects of aircraft noise; and what estimates he has made of the cost to the economy of aircraft noise;

(2) what studies have been made, and are being made, into the effects upon people's work of aircraft noise; and what estimates have so far been made of the cost of those effects.

Mr. William Rodgers

There have been a number of studies on the effect of noise in general upon people's work, but none specifically related to aircraft noise. As yet no estimates have been made of the total costs to the economy.
