§ Mr. W. Robertsasked the Home Secretary whether any further report has been received from the Industrial Health Research Board with regard to the effects of noise on the health of the worker?
§ Sir J. SimonI am informed by the Medical Research Council that they have not received any further report on the subject from the Industrial Health Research Board, but that investigations are still proceeding. I understand that great difficulty is being experienced in finding suitable opportunities or methods for detecting and measuring any effects which noise may have on the workers.
