answer text <p>No such specific assessment has been made. The Government keeps under review all research carried out on the impacts of aircraft noise on health and sleep disturbance, including any effects on productivity, and would take this into account when considering the costs and benefits of any relevant policy or regulatory proposals.</p><p> </p><p>As part of the last review of night flying restrictions at Heathrow, Gatwick and Stansted Airports, my Department commissioned the Civil Aviation Authority to undertake a review of literature on these impacts. The CAA published this review in January 2013 (Report ERCD 1208 on Aircraft Noise, Sleep Disturbance and Health Effects) and updated it in June 2014 (Report CAP 1164).</p><p> </p><p> </p> more like this

It has also been designed to help explain to everyone why and how local speed limits are determined. This circular has been revised following full public consultation in summer 2012.</p><p> </p><p>Traffic authorities set local speed limits in situations where local needs and conditions suggest a speed limit which is lower than the national speed limit. They have the flexibility to set local speed limits that are appropriate for the individual road, reflecting local needs and taking account of local considerations.</p><p> </p>

answer text <p>Night flying restrictions set by the Government at Heathrow comprise a movement limit and a noise quota limit set for each summer and winter season. Up to 10% of unused movements or noise quota may be carried over to the next season. The limits apply to the period 23.30-06.00. There are additional restrictions on movements by the noisiest aircraft in the period 23.00-07.00. None of these restrictions was breached between 2012-2014.</p><p> </p><p>In addition the Government sets departure noise limits which include lower limits at night. Infringements of these limits are reported in Heathrow’s Flight Performance Reports published on its website, the latest of which covers the period up to the end of September 2014.</p><p> </p> more like this

question text To ask Her Majesty’s Government, further to the Written Answer by the Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Transport, Robert Goodwill, on 4 March (HC225506), how many fume events occurred in flights observed by researchers conducting the Cranfield University study; whether the available health and safety standards and guidelines include the effects of pyrolised oil at temperatures exceeding 400 degrees Celsius in an enclosed space; and what assessment they have made of the advice from the Committee on Toxicity of Chemicals in Food, Consumer Products and the Environment that contaminated air is causing ill health but that they do not know the mechanism by which it has that effect. more like this

answer text <p>A total of 38 flights had fumes or smells reported by at least one crew member or researcher during the Cranfield study. The Health and Safety Executive are responsible for introducing guidelines on health and safety at work legislation. However, the Cranfield study found that with respect to the conditions of flight that were experienced during the cabin air sampling, there was no evidence for pollutants occurring in cabin air at levels exceeding available health and safety standards and guidelines. The Committee on Toxicity (the COT) made a number of conclusions in their assessment. The Department welcomed these and forwarded the COT report to the European Aviation Safety Agency for their information.</p> more like this
