HC Deb 13 November 1934 vol 293 c1760
57. Mr. TOUCHE

asked the Minister of Transport whether any steps have been taken to obtain the voluntary cooperation of the Society of Motor Manufacturers with a view to preventing the manufacture of motor cars with inadequate or ineffective silencers?

Mr. HORE-BELISHA

Yes, Sir. My Department has for some time been in touch with the society on this matter and the society has also accepted an invitation to appoint a representative to serve on the committee which I recently appointed to consider the steps which might be taken to reduce noise arising from the use of motor vehicles.
