HC Deb 17 May 1972 vol 837 c109W
81. Mr. Ronald Bell

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what conditions he imposed as to the control of nuisance by noise in the contracts for the construction of the M40 motorway at Denham.

Mr. Speed

The terms of the contract specifically require the contractor to conform with all Acts of Parliament and any local regulations or byelaws, which include, of course, those relating to noise.

I understand that the contractor is cooperating with the local authority concerned with a view to reducing the level of noise caused by heavy earth-moving equipment.
