HC Deb 06 May 1987 vol 115 cc404-5W
Mr. Greenway

asked the Secretary of State for Transport what consideration he is giving to phasing out the noisier types of chapter 2 aircraft.

Mr. David Mitchell

The Government are considering how all, not just the noisier types of chapter 2 aeroplanes might be phased out. It must be recognised, however, that this will be a long process that is dependent ultimately on international agreement.
