HC Deb 08 May 1978 vol 949 c329W
Mrs. Bain

asked the Secretary of State for Trade what has been the total level of central Government expenditure on soundproofing grants for (a) public, and (b) private buildings surrounding each of the United Kingdom's civil airports in each of the last five years.

Mr. Clinton Davis

None. Sound insulation grants schemes, whether made by central Government under Section 29A of the Civil Aviation Act 1971 or by airport authorities, are financed by the airport authority concerned.
