HC Deb 06 August 1975 vol 897 c288W
Mr. Tom Ellis

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will state his intentions as regards the extension of the traffic noise insulation regulations to include hospitals and schools.

Mr. Carmichael

We have decided not to place this potential extra burden on highway authorities in the current adverse financial climate. The matter will be considered again as part of the general review of the noise insulation regulations.
