Motor Vehicles (Noises and Smells)

HC Deb 24 July 1968 vol 769 c113W

Mr. Hector Hughes

asked the Minister of Transport what progress he has made in his plans for reducing on public roads vehicular noise and smells, particularly the noise and smells made by motor cars and motorcycles; and when he intends to implement those plans.

Mr. Bob Brown

These are two separate matters.

New regulations governing the noise of vehicles on the road came into force on 1st July, 1968.

We have no plans for reducing the smells made by motor cars and motorcycles.
