<p>Ministers and officials from my Department have regular discussions with major
airports to discuss a range of matters, including issues relating to noise. The Government
sets overall policy for aviation noise and also sets noise controls at Heathrow, Gatwick,
and Stansted, as these airports are designated under the Civil Aviation Act. At other
airports, the Government believes that noise controls, best practice, and mitigations
should be agreed locally, taking into account national policy.</p>
