HC Deb 17 July 1969 vol 787 cc147-8W
56. Mr. Archer

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what steps he has taken to ensure that effective sound insulation is included in the construction of schools in areas of excessive noise.

Miss Bacon

Appropriate insulation against disturbance by noise is required by the Standard for School Premises Regulations. It is the duty of the local education authority to ensure that school buildings conform to these Regulations.
