HC Deb 13 February 1989 vol 147 c51W
Mr. Kirkwood

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence if he will extend the area around RAF Leeming within which residents are able to claim compensation for aircraft noise.

Mr. Neubert

Later this year when two squadrons of Tornado aircraft are operational and the level of flying is representative of the eventual total station activity, a further full noise survey will be undertaken. If the results of this show that the occupants of additional homes in the vicinity of RAF Leeming are subject to the qualifying level of noise, arrangements will be made to extend the area of entitlement to noise insulation grants.
