§ Mr. Hugh Jenkinsasked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will make a statement of policy on the findings of the report on noise issued by the Association of Public Health Inspectors.
§ Mr. Eldon GriffithsThe Association of Public Health Inspectors Report for 1972 is a valuable one, indicating as it does public concern about excessive noise. The references to consultation which has taken place with this Department in preparation for the legislation referred to in the Queen's Speech indicate the large measure of agreement which has been reached with the association on how best to deal with particular aspects of the noise problem.
