§ 46. Sir Anthony Royleasked the Secretary of State for Trade if he will define the maximum tolerable noise levels for aircraft using Heathrow on both landing and take off using Beaver school, near London Airport, as a yardstick; if he will define the tolerable noise limits for the playground and the classroom with double glazing, respectively; and if he will state the effect of frequency of air noise on children.

§ Mr. Clinton DavisThe Beavers Lane schools suffer more from aircraft noise disturbance than any other schools in the vicinity of Heathrow. The British Airports Authority will be making a grant for the noise insulation of the school with the object of allowing verbal communication between teacher and pupils within the school without interruption from aircraft. The frequency of noise can obviously affect the concentration of children.
