§ Mr. Douglas-Mannasked the Secretary of State for the Environment whether he has received representations from the Chelsea and Kensington Committee on aircraft noise; and what action he is taking.
§ Mr. Anthony GrantI have been asked to reply.
362WYes. I have been considering proposals put forward by the committee as well as by others, about the possibility of alternation in use of the two main runways at Heathrow, to discover whether they might lead to some improvement in parts of London affected by aircraft noise. I shall be writing shortly to the committee and to others concerned.
