§ 57. Mr. TOUCHEasked 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-BELISHAYes, 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.
