HC Deb 03 February 1975 vol 885 c435W
Mr. Andrew F. Bennett

asked the Secretary of State for Trade whether the discussion on noise certification of existing aircraft has reached a conclusion; if so what conclusion; and if not when he expects it to be concluded.

Mr. Clinton Davis

In view of the important international implications of any action in this field, a United Kingdom delegation is in Montreal at the moment participating in a meeting of the International Civil Aviation Organisation Committee on Aircraft Noise, at which the question of the noise certification of existing aircraft will be discussed. We shall not be able to reach any conclusion on this matter until we have had time to consider fully the outcome of these talks.
