noise insulation grants and what percentage of these lies to the east of the airport.

Mr. Clinton Davis

Exact details are not available. It is, however, estimated that out of approximately 60,000 dwellings which were eligible when the Heathrow scheme first came into force in 1966 about 25,000 remain elegible for grant. It is further estimated that roughly 65 per cent. of these 25,000 dwellings are within the scheme area to the east of the airport.
