HC Deb 20 January 1971 vol 809 c279W
Mr. Pardoe

asked the Minister of Aviation Supply what noise level his Department lays down as being acceptable a quarter of a mile each side of an airfield runway; and what is Concorde's noise level within this area.

Mr. David Price

Questions arising out of engine noise at airports are the responsibility of my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry. One of Concorde's design aims is that it should meet the airport noise regulations at present in force in this country and overseas.
