answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/09/2017 answer text <p>There are 22 air quality monitoring sites in the area surrounding Heathrow Airport, with monitors measuring a variety of pollutants from all sources. Emissions from aircraft are a ground-level air quality concern when the aircraft are below an altitude of 1000 feet above the ground. Therefore while aircraft do affect air quality levels in the immediate vicinity of the airport, factors other than aircraft have a greater contributory effect.</p> answering member constituency South Holland and The Deepings answering member printed Mr John Hayes question first answered 08/09/2017 10:43:23 answering member 350 label Biography information for Sir John Hayes

uin	6340
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/09/2017 answer text <p>Subsidies are not paid to support shooting activities. Grouse moors are also used by farmers for grazing; specific data on payments to farmers who maintain grouse moors is not held as payments under the Common Agricultural Policy are made to eligible claimants on the basis of the area of agricultural land they own, not the activities which may take place on that land. Payments that farmers in moorland areas receive under the Common Agricultural Policy help them maintain our moorlands and deliver a significant boost for tourism and the rural economy in these areas.</p> answering member constituency Camborne and Redruth answering member printed George Eustice question first answered 08/09/2017 13:59:46 answering member 3934 label Biography information for George Eustice
