HC Deb 12 December 1988 vol 143 c466W
Mr. Corbyn

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence if he will list the total number of noise objections received by his Department concerning Royal Air Force planes from(a) individuals and (b) local authorities for each year since 1983; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Freeman

Inquiries and complaints specifically about noise from Royal Air Force aircraft are not recorded separately from general flying complaints, which often relate to a number of factors, of which noise may be one. Nor are local authority complaints recorded separately; it is not therefore possible to provide the details requested without disproportionate effort.
