HC Deb 19 January 1990 vol 165 c464W
Mr. Bermingham

To ask the Secretary of State for Employment what research has been carried out to establish whether musical sounds cause hearing defects to the same degree as industrial noise; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Nicholls

Available evidence is inconclusive and does not justify treating the hazard created by high levels of musical sounds as different from that created by industrial noise at the same levels.
