HC Deb 03 March 1959 vol 601 c186
23. Mr. Storey

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government and Minister for Welsh Affairs what action he proposes to take upon the representations he has received from the Urban District Councils' Association upon the need for additional powers to deal with noise nuisances.

Mr. H. Brooke

The Association has been notified that, when opportunity permits, legislation will be introduced which will propose, among other things, that excessive, unreasonable or unnecessary noise should be made a statutory nuisance for the purposes of the Public Health Act, 1936. A provision on these lines is already included in many local Acts.
