Airport Noise Mitigation At British Airports Authority Airports

EDM number 1068 in 2006-07, proposed by John Barrett on 07/03/2007.

That this House notes with concern the disparity in the help provided by British Airports Authority (BAA) for residents affected by noise levels above an average of 66 decibels at Scottish airports as compared with English airports; recognises that residents in the 66 decibel contour at Heathrow, Gatwick and Stansted airports are entitled to grants to assist with noise insulation, including secondary glazing and roof and wall insulation, while residents affected by comparable noise levels at Edinburgh, Glasgow and Aberdeen airports receive no such assistance; believes that there is no justification for this discrepancy, which arbitrarily favours English residents over their Scottish counterparts; notes that BAA in Scotland has a good track record of listening to legitimate community concerns; and calls on BAA to take swift action to level the playing field and provide that same level of assistance in this matter at all BAA airports in all parts of the United Kingdom.

This motion has been signed by a total of 20 MPs.
