HC Deb 14 July 1976 vol 915 cc200-1W
56. Mr. Michael McNair-Wilson

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what proposals he has for introducing more stringent noise levels for motorbikes.

Dr. Gilbert

I attach great importance to reducing the amount of noise caused by motorcycles and am about to propose to the other member States of the EEC the introduction into Community law of maximum permitted noise levels appreciably lower than those currently in force in the United Kingdom.
