  • Independent Aviation Noise Authority (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: John Biggs
    • Meeting date: 18 June 2014
    John Biggs AM: I should start by saying that although the Assembly is unanimous in taking the view that Heathrow presents all sorts of problems, we are not necessarily unanimous on the conclusions that flow from that.
