HC Deb 29 March 1983 vol 40 c115W
Mr. Moate

asked the Minister for Trade what progress has been made regarding the introduction of noise controls for microlight aeroplanes.

Mr. Sproat

My Department commissioned two studies into the noise levels created by microlight aeroplanes, to assist us in minimising the effect they have on the environment. Unfortunately, due to unsuitable weather conditions, it has not yet been possible to complete the second study. As soon as the results are to hand and discussions with the representative body have taken place, I shall publish details of a noise certification scheme to come into effect for the 1984 flying season.
