§ 59. Mr. Hugh Jenkinsasked the President of the Board of Trade how the amount of aircraft noise suffered by residents under the glide-path and takeoff areas at London Airport, Heathrow, compares with that endured elsewhere in the country in terms of the numbers of persons affected and the frequency of noise impact from passenger- and cargo-carrying aircraft.
§ Mr. Goronwy RobertsMany more people live near Heathrow than any other United Kingdom airport, but statistics of the number of persons affected by take-off and approach flight paths are not available. 228,693 air transport movements took place at Heathrow in 1968 which is more than six times the number at our next busiest airport.
