HC Deb 26 July 1971 vol 822 c30W
Sir G. Sinclair

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he is saisfied with the equipment supplied to the police for monitoring the noise of road vehicles; and how many successful prosecutions, based on such equipment, there have been in each of the last three years.

Mr. Sharples

The value of noise meters to the police is limited by the conditions under which they can be used. Separate figures for prosecutions based on noise meter readings are not available.
