§ Sir W. Bromley-Davenportasked the President of the Board of Trade if he will consider the restriction of the noise level of internal short distance flights to a lower level of sound in view of public anxiety and the fact that the present level often causes discomfort and loss of amenity to the public over which the aircraft pass.
§ Mr. William RodgersAircraft on short distance flights are normally quieter than others and, while fully appreciating the sort of considerations the hon. Gentleman has in mind, we see no need for special noise restrictions on them.
