asked Her Majesty's Government:

Why they have imposed a limit on the number of night movements by turbo prop aircraft at Gatwick Airport.

The Government has imposed restrictions on night movements by all aircraft, including turbo prop aircraft, at Gatwick Airport in order to reduce sleep disturbance from aircraft noise.
