HC Deb 20 December 1974 vol 883 c744W
Mr. Sandelson

asked the Secretary of State for Trade whether he will extend the terminal date for application under the existing Noise Insulation Grants Scheme at Heathrow, pending the introduction of a revised scheme.

Mr. Clinton Davis

Yes. A statutory instrument was laid before the House on 10th December with the purpose of extending the operative date from 31st December 1974 to 30th June 1975, but I hope to introduce revised schemes for both Heathrow and Gatwick well before the latter date. There is no need for similar extension in relation to Gatwick because the current scheme is open until 31st December 1976.
