HC Deb 26 July 1971 vol 822 c39W
Sir G. Sinclair

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what plans he had to introduce a system of noise certification for engines of road vehicles on the lines of the scheme recently agreed for aircraft engines.

Mr. Eldon Griffiths

There are already regulations imposing maximum noise limits on road vehicles. We are discussing with the industry what system might be adopted to enable vehicle types to be approved as complying with these and other regulations.
