HC Deb 04 December 1972 vol 847 c292W
54. Sir G. Sinclair

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry when he will announce a scheme for sound proofing grants round Gatwick Airport.

Mr. Onslow

Broad proposals have just been received from the Surrey County Council and are being examined urgently. We are bound to consult the British Airports Authority and others concerned but I hope that the relevant Statutory Instrument can be laid within three months.
