§ Sir F. Medlicottasked the Minister of Health, as representing the Lord President of the Council, if his attention has been drawn to recent indications of the deleterious effect of noise, especially of aircraft noise, on human health, efficiency and relaxation; and how soon he expects to be able to announce the results of the deliberations of the committee which is examining this problem.
§ Mr. TurtonI am aware of recent concern about this subject but I am not sure which committee my hon. and gallant Friend has in mind. Research on the general problem of the effects of noise is being sponsored by the Medical Research Council, and results are published in the appropriate scientific journals.
