HC Deb 17 June 1968 vol 766 cc89-90W
34. Mr. Blenkinsop

asked the Minister of Public Building and Works what progress is being made with the development of noise suppressors to road drilling machines; and what steps are being taken to ensure their use.

Mr. Mellish

The manufacturers are making good progress in developing quieter concrete-breaking equipment and I am examining the means and practicability of ensuring the use of noise suppressors.
