§ Mr. Michael McNair-Wilsonasked the Secretary of State for Defence (1) whether grants for installing noise insulation are available to householders where homes are close to Royal Air Force airfields where those airfields, after a period of uncertainty, are brought back to full operational use including day and night flying;
(2) what compensation for loss of amenity is available to householders with houses close to Royal Air Force bases which, after a period of inactivity, are brought back to full operational use including night and day flying.
§ Mr. WellbelovedClaims for compensation for injurious affection or for grants towards the cost of sound insulation could be considered in such circumstances only if high noise levels, and so on, resulted from extension of existing facilities. Payments would not be admissible as a result of the use of existing facilities to their full capacity.
