§ 39. Mr. Simeonsasked the Secretary of State for the Environment, following the Noise Advisory Council's Report on Neighbourhood Noise, which of its recommendations he intends to seek to implement.
§ Mr. Peter WalkerI have asked interested bodies to give me their views on these recommendations by the end of January. Thereafter I shall be making the appropriate decision.
§ Mr. SimeonsWhile thanking the right hon. Gentleman for that answer, may I ask him whether he will bear in mind 1340 that there is great concern about the difficulty people in this country are having in overcoming this problem? Will he, when making these decisions, take steps to see that remedies are produced much more quickly than at present?
§ Mr. WalkerYes. Sir.
