§ Mr. Donald Stewartasked the Secretary of State for Scotland (1) if he will bring the conditions for refusing permission to developments subject to certain levels of aircraft noise in Scotland into line with those of England;
(2) if he will seek to bring the permissible levels of aircraft noise in Scotland into line with those in England.
§ Mr. Gordon CampbellThe guidance I have issued to Scottish local planning authorities does not reflect any difference in policy and approach from that issued in England. It is my intention that similar circumstances will be similarly treated in both countries.
