HC Deb 15 December 1959 vol 615 cc135-6W
99. Mr. V. Yates

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government and Minister for Welsh Affairs if he is aware that residents in Evesham House, Windsor Street, Birmingham, are unable to secure adequate sleep because of noise from an adjoining factory; and if he will hold an investigation into this matter with a view to a removal of the cause of such complaint.

Sir K. Joseph

The Birmingham Corporation, who have powers under local legislation to take action where excessive, unreasonable or unnecessary noise is prejudicial to health or a nuisance, are I understand investigating the matter to which the hon. Member refers.
