To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what assessment he has made of the environmental impact of the airports at (a) Heathrow and (b) Manchester international airport. [7016]
For Heathrow the Department publishes an aircraft noise exposure index in the form of annual noise exposure contours using Leq—equivalent continuous sound level, 16 hour dBA. Similar information about Manchester is available from the airport authorities. It is the responsibility of airport operators or developers to undertake appropriate environmental impact assessments of any major new developments proposed at airports.
