HC Deb 20 December 1979 vol 976 c394W
Mr. Jim Callaghan

asked the Minister of Transport if he will bring forward proposals to reduce the level of noise limits for motor cycles.

Mr. Kenneth Clarke

In October this year I circulated to interested bodies for comment draft regulations which provide for more stringent noise limits in line with EEC standards for new motor vehicles, including motor cycles. I am still considering the detailed comments made, but I hope to make the regulations early in the new year.
