HC Deb 27 June 1968 vol 767 cc117-8W
64. Sir Clive Bossom

asked the Minister of Transport what discussions he has had with the motoring organisations about noise checking facilities; and if he will now seek to make a grant to the organisations in order to enable them to provide facilities for checking the noise level on motor vehicles.

Mr. Bob Brown

The Department has discussed with the motoring organisations how far they might include facilities to check noise as part of the service that they offer to their members. They have explained that they must balance the cost against demand from their members. We accept this. We do not consider that a grant from public funds would be appropriate.
